Re: problems with xnest

1997-06-11 Thread Mark Eichin
hmm. xnest should work fine with xfs (I'd used it that way under 3.1.2, when I was developing the gzipped font stuff) but note that the very end of the man page has some warnings about how xnest actually *fakes* all of it's font handling. (Rather than repeat it here, look near the end of man Xnes
