There are strange things about OLIT2.0 if you compare it to XView:

1. It uses another set of fonts (Available with the OpenWindow X11/News server
   or on export as OLITfonts..., can be converted by convertfont )
   
2. It has another look ( no 3D, will change )

3. It has another method for drag&drop (not compatible with XView, will change)

I hope all this will change with Olit2.5 or Olit3.0 . 

At present you will have to install the OLITfonts for your server 
if you are not using Sun's X11/NeWS server.

The fonts are named like this:
a12biluc12.bdf	b12sbarv12.bdf	d12iluci14.bdf	f12bluci10.bdf	g12sldrv12.bdf
