If I display e.g. CDE apps running on Solaris 9 (or SXCE) back to my Mac, I'm better off if one of the Solaris boxes runs xfs and is referenced by the font path on the Mac's X server, so that all the fonts that CDE expects will be available. In other words, in heterogenous environments, xfs can sometimes be one way of solving missing font problems. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
