I'm trying to use MacX 1.2 to display Word Perfect running on a Sun (SunOS
4.1.3), but am having trouble compiling the WP fonts.  I've ftp'd the
WP fonts (*.bdf) from the Sun to my Mac Quadra 950, but when I try to
compile them in MacX, the finder doesn't recognize the font files, i.e.,
they don't show up under "Compile BDF File".  I tried using ResEdit 2.1
to assign the proper file type & creator (i.e., made them look like the
font files that came with MacX), but MacX still will not recognize them.
As a matter of fact, after using ResEdit, the files appear to the finder
as MacX documents, but still cannot be compiled.  Any help appreciated,
e-mail replies preferred.  Thanks.

BTW, I'm running System 7.1.
