I have been trying to access the DECWindows BookReader application with
MacX 1.1 (The Apple version, not the PathWorks). It dies with the following
error:

X Toolkit Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-MENU-MEDIUM-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*
-ISO8859-1" to type FontList, using fixed font
X Error event received: BadName - font or color name does not exist
  Request Major op code 45
  Request Minor op code 0
  ResourceID 0x40001d 
  Serial number of request 76 
  Current serial number 77 
Can't open font -*-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-ISO8859-1

I have a fonts.alias file with the line (wrapped for readability):
-"Bigelow & Holmes"-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-70-ISO8859-1
 -Adobe-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-70-ISO8859-1

It is in my MacX fonts folder, and I have rebuilt the font directory. Anyone
have
any ideas?
