=================================================================


The NCD server is shipped with two PEX fonts:
Roman and Roman_m.  These fonts are included in the server image,
therefore they do not need to be added to the font path.
They are part of 'built-ins'.

Customers can define and use additional PEX fonts.  The format of the
font source is specified in the X11R5 PEX font definitions. The
source is then compiled with the X11R5 PEX font compiler to create
fonts in the .phont format.

You can put the fonts in any directory you would like. You must manually
create a fonts.dir for the fonts.  It is just like a normal fonts.dir:
the first line is the number of fonts, and each subsequent line is
the name of a .phont file followed by the name of the font defined in the file.
For example:

-------- fonts.dir ----------
1
mypexfonts.phont mypexfonts
------------------------------

You can also create a fonts.alias file.  I suggest creating one and
putting '0' in it if you do not have any aliases. This eliminates a
warning message which occurs if there is no fonts.alias file.

Then add the directory to your font path as you would any other font directory.
