The font server is only available on Alpha-VMS (and I assume those IA64
things).  It is "installed" by default. But you need to edit

SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM

to set the DECW$START_FONT_SERVER to "True"


Out of curiosity, why would Excursions not work as a target for a Linux
system's windows ?

The X terminal gets X protocol. It is agnostic on whether the
application is based on Motif, GTK or whatever.
