I recieved two responses on this question. I want to thank both people
who responsed to my post and apologize for I lost their names in the
system move that we are performing. They both suggested manually using
xset to setup the font path each time the X Terminal is logged into. that
was not acceptable as they are used by students. So after some work I was
able to locate all the fonts needed on our server in
/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts and setup the X Terminals to use these as the
font paths which we nfs exported. This is the new location on Solaris 2.6
for all openwin and CDE fonts. Thanks again for everyones help.
