I trick I use to get an "xlsfonts" listing for a VAXstation is to kick
off an xterm running on one of the unix platforms on our network and
have the display appear on the VAXstation. If you run xlsfonts on
the xterm on the VAXstation, you will get a listing of your available
fonts.

Of course this is only viable if have an available unix platform on
your network and you have some sort of TCP/IP available on the VAXstation.
