As an alternative I can send you a X server which should work with
compressed fonts. The reason why the Atari servers on ftp.netbsd.org
can't use compressed fonts is that the servers are XFree 3.2 while the
other parts are XFree 3.3. But I guess using compressed fonts will
slow down the server, because the server must uncompress every font
every time which the font is asked for. The advantage of compressed
fonts is that it uses less disk space.
