The info fonts in /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts are in snf format as far as I
am aware... Is this a different snf format than on other machine
(don't know I haven't tried them on anything else)... If it is a
standard snf format, couldn't you use the bdftools recently posted to
comp.sources.x to convert them back to bdf?
