	I am currently working with the X windows system on a project that requires a
special character set; namely, the APL character set.  Currently we have several routes
available to us for the implementation of our font:
        We have an apl font sent to us from Colorado; the font is in the standard
.bdf format.  However, there are some characters that we would like to edit, and if
you or a friend of yours knows of any tools (like a .bdf font editor)
that will allow us to easily change the
characters, I'd appreciate any help you could give us.  (The sooner, the better: we
have a preliminary project due date of February 16, with a target completion
of March 5-8.)
        Also, we have an APL character set on our Sun workstations, but this font is
in the standard Sun vfont format.  However, the sun system also has a very nice
font editor, fontedit, that would make our job easy.  Our difficulty herein is
the conversion from this font type to the X-windows compatible .bdf and .snf formats.
If you know of a conversion utility that could assist us, SUPER!
