We just got our xterminal Dec vt1301 and right now it is booted from a vax VMS
based machine with decwindow manager.  All of our files and work are on a Unix
machine.  Therefore, we telnet to our unix machine to do our work.  The only
reason we use the VMS vax machine is to boot up our Xterminal. The Unix machine
is running Ultrix 4.1 os and X11R3.  When we try to run some of the Xutilities
such as xclock, xcalc, twm, etc.. and to display it to our xterminal we receive
errors such ass
  Xcalc: could not open the following fonts:
   -*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-12-*

   and these fonts are on our unix machine under usr/lib/X11/fonts/

   In order to get twm running we stop the dxwm from the VMS machine, and run
   twm from our unix machine.  It runs but does not allocate the correct fonts
   which specified in the .twmrc file.

   This is the connection:
   X-terminail -->VMS(telnet) -->Unix(dec 5810)

   Any pointers or suggestions are welcome

   Thanks you in advance, your help are greatly appreciated.
