Thanks for the reply.  The machine I'm connecting to is running HP-UX and 
yes, CDE.  wrt the font server.  Is it a matter of me running a font server 
on my local machine or having a font server running on the machine I'm 
trying to connect to?  If they're not running a font server and I'm able to 
get them to run one, does the configuration on my local box have to change?
