I tried to use convertfont to convert a custom made font that works under
Sunview to something I can use with Xview. I got a message 'byteswapped
vfont file format not supported. On Sun386i try myfont.i386' where myfont
is the name of the font file I was trying to convert. My guess is that I
may need to use vswap to unbyteswap (so to speak). However I dont't have
vswap installed. Also I am not sure this is what I should be doing.
Would anyone who has successfully converted their fonts on a sun386i to
the Xview format please describe what they did. Please mailbox me and I
will summarise if vswap is not the route to go. If it is, could someone
let me know where to get a copy of vswap.
P.S. Yes I tried to use the font as is, but it only works under Sunview.
