Well.. I'm not sure anymore just how I did fix this... except that

there is something really quite odd about the fonts and the fontpath

and having the PEX fonts in the fontpath and knowing that they were

indeed called

Roman.phont Roman_M.phont

I found the fontpath a very tricky definition. I had to set it to

just /usr/local/X11/lib/fonts... and not

/usr/local/X11/lib/fonts/misc:/usr/local/X11/lib/fonts/PEX ... etc

like a usual path sort of variable...

ANd of course I had many more troubles with this thing.. the sun3

running as a X-terminal of sorts.. But it is up and running. It

could use a bit more tweeking.. but there are so many things that

one could do...

I offer great thanks to both

David Wiseman <magi@csd.uwo.ca>

for excellent tips... and of course to

for his grand help
