I was recently tasked with getting some OPENLOOK applications to
display under dxwm. dxwm used to use .snf fonts, and I had converted
the MIT distribution XView fonts (using dec's bdftosnf) so I could do this.

Recently, they DEC2100s (the machines running dxwm) had some upgrades done
and now they use .pcf fonts.

What the heck are .pcf fonts, and are there any utilities to convert 
.bdf to .pcf?  Brain-dead DEC didn't include one.  Guess they don't
want OPEN LOOK applications polluting their environment 8-(.
(.pcf = pollution control fonts?)

Stupid DEC.  I recommend they throw the 2100s off the tallest building
in the area and but some Sun 4/20s.

Help!
