In a bug report last month (I am sorry this response has taken so
long; we've been very busy), you wrote:
From: akim@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

System name: M11-113-1
Type and version: MVAX-II 7.1H
Display type: PLX
What were you trying to do?
help
(run the program, that is)
What's wrong:
The fonts on the On-Line Help window (X, not tty) were screwed
up... also, this propagated to the xterm I called up 'help' from.
What should have happened:
The fonts should have been normal, and my xterm shouldn't have
been affected.
Could you be a bit more specific about how the fonts where "screwed
up," and in what way the problem propogated to the xterm you called up
help from? Also, does this problem happen to you regularly? Does it
happen to you only on the color machines in 11-113?
Thank you for any help you can provide us in trying to track down this
problem.
