	Has anyone sucessfully use a VT1200 on a SUN machine running
openwindow?  There is apparently an incompatibility between the fonts
that the VT1200 uses and the fonts on the SUN.  According to the VT1200
release note, one can get this font compiler on gatekeeper.dec.com.  We
got that and recompiled our fonts.  The compiler has 4 options and 4
different way of compiling.  We use the -m option, which mean force the bit
order to most significant bit first.  We set the font path and the VT1200
said it found all the fonts.  Yet when we tried to run open we alway got the 
message said the fonts cannot be located.  I have a feeling that the font.dir
that the VT1200 expects to see is in a different format that the Sun is using.
Has anyone had any luck?
