CLIM via X on 2 megapixel screens

    P.S.  While I'm on the subject, I would like to start up CLIM windows via
    the X server on my Symbolics (CLIM would be running on a Sun somewhere).
    The reponse is generally poor but the loading (and reloading and reloading)
    of fonts is quite intolerable.  Anyone know some way to load those fonts
    once and for all?
    -------
If you mean that the Sun would be the X server and the Symbolics the client, then I would
suggest checking to ensure that your font path on your Sun points to where the Symbolics
fonts are and that the Symbolics fonts are in the correct format for the X server.
Here's my startup file to point to the correct directory:

xset +fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/genera
xset fp rehash

In OpenWindows you must set an environment variable instead (if you're using the XNews
server).  Here's my startup for that (although it may be out of date)

product OpenWin test
setenv FONTPATH /usr/share/symbolics/font:$OPENWINHOME/lib/fonts 
openwin

XNews/OpenWindows uses a different font file type than X.  The Symbolics
documentation for the UX used to cover all of this briefly.  I can't seem to find the
documentation (it may be in the UX installation manual which I cannot find).

In my OpenWin font directory I have ff and fb files for the Symbolics fonts.  I think
there are OpenWin man pages on the fontbuilder or something like that.
