Does it automatically try and get fonts via NFS? If so, what happens if the host doesn't support NFS? Any answers to these and other pressing questions would be appreciated. -- Tom Wolf Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ E-mail: twolf@homxb.att.com (My employer doesn't know about these and other incriminating remarks)
