The OpenWindows distribution that comes
with Solaris 2.3 has compressed OpenWindows 
fonts in PCF format. 

The default compression factor used for these 
fonts is not correct for direct access by the 
NCD; however, the font server can be used.

Here is an example ncdfs config file:


------- start cut here -----------------
# FONT Server configuration file
# for OpenWindows PCF format fonts

clone-self = on
scaled-bitmaps = off
use-syslog = off
catalogue = 
        /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
        /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
        /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Xt+,
        /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/F3bitmaps,
        /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
error-file = /tmp/fs.error
error-method = file
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
default-point-size = 120
--------------- end cut here -----------------------

Start ncdfs as root with this command:

/usr/bin/X11/ncdfs -port 8888 -config /usr/lib/X11/fs/config 


Make your NCD remote config file font path like this:

        xserver-default-font-path = {
           { "tcp/138.43.209.67:8888" }
           { "built-ins" }
           { "/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/misc" }
           { "/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/75dpi" }
           { "/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/Xol" }
           { "/usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/pcf/100dpi" } }

Use the ip of your host in place of 138.43.209.67

Reboot your NCD and check the font path with:

                /usr/bin/X11/xset -q

Add the command to start ncdfs to a host boot time script.
