toward international, national language support in X windows.

MIT11.3 and 11.4 distribute a large number of 8 bit fonts conforming
to the ISO IS8859/1 LATIN1 standard (upper half filled with European 
language symbols).

MIT11.4 xterm still does not support variable pitch fonts. All the
ISO LATIN1 fonts in 11.4 are variable pitch.

My question is has anyone solved this problem? Is there a source for
fixed pitch ISO LATIN1 fonts? Is there a better xterm that works with
variable pitch fonts?

Thanks in advance for information on this.
