[ale] Re: X font problems

[David Corbin]

Thanks for the suggestions, but the problem turned out to be something else.  
I'm using a remote XTerminal, but was specifying the font-server path as unix 
pipe.  By enabling TCP on my TT fontserver, and the specifing the path 
appropriately, things got better.
