So you should generate the BDF fonts like this: mftobdf -dvi 100 -mag 283 wncysc10.100pk Also, xterm doesn't work well at all with variable width fonts. The wncysc10 BDF font will probably be variable width, and you'll have to hack the width changes by hand anyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- mleisher@nmsu.edu "I laughed.
