Run "make all" to compile all fonts.

You must "install" the fonts before the X server can use them.
Installation of fonts is a 4-step process:

    1. Convert the BDF format to SNF (server normal format),
       with "bdftosnf <fontfile>.bdf > <fontfile>.snf".
       The Makefile takes care of this automatically.

    2. Make a listing of your fonts in the directory so the
       X server can read it, with "mkfontdir".  The Makefile
       takes care of this automatically.

    3. Tell the X server where to find your font directory,
       with "xset +fp <your_font_directory>".  The Makefile
       does NOT do this, as you may wish to place your fonts
       somewhere other than in the directory where they were compiled.

       Remember that <your_font_directory> is referred to
       where the X server is running, which is NOT necessarily
       the machine you are logged into.  If this doesn't make
       much sense, don't worry, just plow ahead with the installation.
       If it doesn't work, you'll know this is one possible
       reason why.  In case of doubt, ask your local X guru.
    
    4. Place in your .Xdefaults the appropriate *font declaration
       for the program you wish to use with the new fonts.  For
       example, if you are using vnterm, place this in your .Xdefaults:

       vnterm*font:	vn-r14
    

If you have trouble with the font installation, try seeking help
from a local X guru who knows the particulars of your environment.

--------
Particulars:

X11/NeWS: the server has its own font format that can be generated
	  with the command "convertfont".

NFS users:make sure your font files are accessible by everyone.  This
	  means a minimum of:

	  (a) all directories in the path to your font files must
	      be executable by everyone.  This means a minimum of:

	      % chmod go+x <dir>

	      for all directory components.

	  (b) all font files readable by everyone:

	      % chmod go+r *

	      in the font directory.

X-terminals: recently X-terminals have become increasingly available.
	X-terminals typically boot up getting files from a file server,
	in particular its font files.  This poses a thorny problem:
	how do you install a new font for these displays?  The user
	typically does not have access to the file system where the
	X-terminal looks for its fonts.

	If you know where your X terminal looks for its fonts
	(at least which file system), and have write access to
	it, you're okay, because you can place your fonts there
	and tell the X terminal server proram to look there.

	If you do know where it looks for fonts, but don't have
	access to it, OR, if you don't know where it looks for fonts,
	there is nothing you can do short of contacting the
	guru who manages your X terminal.  He or she will be
	able to put the Vietnames font file in the right places
	for you.
