Devanagari (Hindi), Arabic, Thai(and Lao), Cantonese (Big5), Amharic/Tigrinya,
Tibetan, and Vietnamese fonts are available by default on Solaris and Irix,
but not Linux.
An easy way to check to see if these fonts are accessible is by running
emacs with a fixed font (emacs -fn fixed), and then typing Ctrl-h h to load
the Hello Script Samples page. Any characters from fonts not accessible,
either through xfs or through directories in the font path, will be shown as
boxes.
Adding /usr/athena/lib/X11/fonts/intlfonts to the font path fixes this problem.
This patch (to xfs's config file) should fix the problem, and also load
the fonts in /usr/athena/lib/X11/fonts/misc , for 3270 terminal emulation,
to ( I'm guessing) connect to MITVMA.
