X loses badly on porter, a 7.6 RS/6000 in the tester cluster.  The
server resets during login and the font path is wrong.

I fixed the problem by editing /etc/athena/login/config to remove the
andrew fonts from the font path. /srvd/usr/andrew does not exist.  I
assume xlogin was exiting with an X error after trying to set the font
path, causing a server reset and an incorrect font path.

You should add /usr/lpp/X11/lib/X11/fonts/i18n to the athena font
path.  This directory is in the server default font path.
