If you run the info program on an RS6000 before you run an Andrew
application, you will get incredibly tiny fonts.
The reason for this is that I did a better ATK integration than IBM did,
and you should use MY /usr/andrew/X11fonts not /usr/lpp/info/X11fonts.
The problem gets quite messy since the X server tries to cache which
font is used first and the info/X11fonts are 75dpi aliases and mine are
100dpi aliases.
When you use both apps at the same time all kinds of funny font aliasing
problems occur.
