3561.0. ".bdf/.pcf/.scf font VT1200 XTERMINAL" by BREAKR::HA () Thu Nov 01 1990 04:02

    I have a couple of questions on font loading by our X-terminals:
    
    1) I know the ASCII, human-readable format is .bdf and the
       current font format that the VT1200 and VT1300 want to
       see in order to download them is .pcf format.
       What is .pcf format - is this a DEC standard or does
       it come from X11 R3?
    
    2) We have a requirement to be able to load fonts from a
       Pyramid system running X11 R4, which are claimed to be
       .scf format.  They customer says he thinks .pcf format
       is a Postscript extended version of .scf.  Can the
       VT1200/1300 load .scf font files?
