Do the required fonts need to come from the server (the xterm)?

Yeah it needs 1) the old snf style fonts and 2) the specific fonts for
this x-term (I think). If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Yeah I'm not sure the fonts really mattered so much, but I did find a
bunch after scrounging around. It got rid of the original error, but I'm
still getting this:

X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 14 (X_GetGeometry)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 292
Current serial number in output stream: 292


Any help??

Thanks
Peter
