One of our NetBSD machines serves (amongst 
other things) as a fontserver for a number of 
Xterminals around the organisation.  And that's 
OK - except when someone uses CDE (e.g. on 
a Solaris or Reliant-Unix) box - and their 'dtterm' 
windows don't have any '-dt-application-..' fonts.

The quick-and-dirty solution is for users to
add: 'xset fp+ tcp/solarisbox:7100' at the end
of thier '.profile' - provided they can identify a
'solarisbox' which is serving the right fonts.

A better solution would be to add appropriate
font aliases on the NetBSD machine.  Does
anyone know of a standard package to do
this ?
