In /NextLibrary/Fonts there is a font called Lexi.  I did not put it
there so it must have come with the system software - 1.0, 2.0 or 2.1.
None of the programs seem to be able to select this font.  I tried
running buildafmdir on NextLibrary/Fonts and got a message that
several fonts (including Lexi) existed in a new and old version.  I have
no idea what that meant because I could only see one version of each in
the directory.  I copied it to LocalLibrary/Fonts and tried buildafmdir
there, to no avail.  This in spite of having added some PD fonts which
do work.  I thought there might be a problem in the font's description
except I had a PD font that was selectable and crashed the
windowserver.

Anybody have any ideas?
