Excerpts from ext.misc.info-andrew: 5-Oct-92 Font Problem

If you don't have an X11r5 server (you don't if you are running the
productAIX server), make sure you install .snf rather than .pcf fonts. 
To get .snffonts, simply put a #undef FONTS_TO_PCF_ENV in your site.h. 
Until you getthings working, you might want to put the following into
your ~/preferencesfile:

*.AnnounceFontSubstitutions: true
*.ErrorsToConsole: false

Does xset q show that /usr/andrew/X11fonts is on your font path?  If
not, theX server doesn't like your new fonts.  Does a fonts.dir file
exist in the fontdirectory?  If not, you probably forgot to build the
xmkfontd directory.
