I have received several messages from people who ran into problems running
xgraph on X11 R2 based servers.  Most complained that xgraph cannot find
an appropriate axis font.  Xgraph uses a utility routine to try to find
an appropriate font given a desired font size.  This routine uses the
font naming conventions developed for R3.  If you are running an R2 server,
you should change the font expression in the routine ux11_size_font in
the file xgraph-11/ux11/ux11n_font.c to one that better matches your
font set.  

For example,  several people have compiled Xgraph on HP machines
running an R2 server.  Changing the font expression from 
"*-medium-r-normal-*" to "hp8*" works for these displays.
