The purpose of this note is to define the steps necessary to allow aixterm to 
display line drawing characters correctly when in HFT emulation mode 
(the default mode).  This directory contains the NCD readable font files 
(*.snf) and the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files that will make this possible.
 
The solution involves converting the IBM native fonts into an SNF format that
the NCD can read.  Once the fonts are converted, the NCD server must be made 
aware of the location of these fonts.  Finally, aixterm must be forced to use 
these fonts since it does not ask for these fonts when it connects to the NCD 
server.

STEPS
-----
1) Convert the IBM fonts needed into a format the NCD can read.
   
   This was done with the public domain utility "getbdf" and the NCD 
   utilities "ncdbdftosnf" and "ncdmkfontdir".     eg.....

   % setenv DISPLAY rs6000:0
   %
   % getbdf rom14.500 > /tmp/rom14.500.bdf
   % ncdbdftosnf /tmp/rom14.500.bdf > /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/IBM/rom14.500.snf
   %
   %  ( continue the previous two commands until necessary fonts are converted )
   %
   % cd /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/IBM
   % ncdmkfontdir

2) Change the NCD's font path via remote configuration or the xset command:

	a) Via remote config, change the "font-path" parameter to include
	   this directory.  eg.... 

	   font-path = default, /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/IBM

	   Then, reboot the NCD or reload the configuration file.

	b) Using xset, change the NCD's font path as follows:
	  
	   % DISPLAY=ncd:0
	   % export DISPLAY
	   % xset fp+ /usr/lib/X11/ncd/fonts/IBM

3) Run aixterm and specify the fonts it is to use in the run string.  eg.....
	
	% aixterm -fn rom14 -fb bld14 -fr rom6&

	-fn Font Specifies the name of the normal text font.  Any fixed-
       	 	width font can be used.  In HFT emulation, the default is
       	  	Rom14.500  for  a large display or Rom10.500 for a small
	 	display.  In VT102 emulation, the default is vtsingle.

	-fb Font Specifies the name of the bold font.  This font must be
		 the same height and width as the normal font.

	-fr Font Specifies the font to be used for the reduced text win-
       	  	dow.   The default is Rom6.500 for HFT mode.  In VT102 emulation
       	  	the default is nil2.

4) Another alternative is to change the resources associated with aixterm in
   your $HOME/.Xdefaults file.

	aixterm*font: 		rom14
	aixterm*boldFont:	bld14
	aixterm*reducedFont:	rom6
	
	Where.........
		
	boldFont      	Specifies a bold font.  This font must have the same
			height and width as the normal body font.

	font  		Specifies the name of the normal text font used in the 
			body of the aixterm window.

	reducedFont   	Specifies the font to be used in a reduced size termi-
			nal window.
