set up on the mac to get them better ?
Probably not; 8 bit color is fairly lame. But others may have some
ideas.
Now the fonts: I assume I do not use the AIX fonts but the fonts on
my mac X11. So I set up the AIX fonts on the mac X11. But I have two
concerns:
- there is some font.aliases files in the AIX /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
fonts and I do not know how to set up those on my mac
Just copy over all the fonts and alias files, then run mkfontdir in
the font directory. If you created a new directory for the fonts
(recommended) then you will need to use xset fp+ to tell the running
X11.app about it. (I don't know offhand how you would do this
permanently; with the usual xorg setup you'd edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf,
but I suspect that's not right for OSX. X11 folks?)
