Distilled wisdom about setting displays and fonts for SUN OS
Here are a set of recent messages that have dealt with the
difficulty in getting a DISPLAY to talk to the server. Since
fonts are occasionally the next difficulty that can come up, these
are also ammended.
I probably should follow up on Jake's suggestion, or equivalently
see whether Chris has sent a clx patch out. Jake said:

I'm willing to bet you're either running OpenWindows or using xdm. If
you are, you'll need to do:
xhost +
in order to enable Hemlock to connect to your server. The problem is
that CLX, which Hemlock uses, does not support MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 (or
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 in case you are using xdm) authorization.
I hope to implement support for MIT-MAGIC-COOKE-1 authorization at
some point in the next couple of months. If I do, I will try to make
the changes available via the bug-clx mailing list.

Hmmm ... What version of OpenWindows are you using?

Note that if the problem is related to the CMU use of the 18x13u font by
Hemlock, you can get Hemlock not to use it by setting variables in
lib/site-init.lisp. In fact, the default site-init sets up to use courier,
so I'm not sure why 8x13u is being mentioned.
It could be the simple presence of a malformed font directory in the font
path causes OpenWindows to crash.

Version 2. It works in version 3, albeit with the following warning:
Warning:
Cannot open font -- "8x13u"
It works without complaint with MIT's R4 and R5.
this sounds similar to the problem that occurs if the cmucl/lib/fonts
directory doesn't have a dummy fonts.dir file in it. what i did was
copy 8x13u.snf to cmucl/lib/fonts and mkfontdir in that directory.
