So I have moved all the fonts from the AIX to the mac X11 in a /usr/
X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/AIX directory (plus some subdir), made mkfontdir
and mkfontscale on those ones, kept the font.alias, xset +fp the
directories, xset fp rehash and I still get "No font matches '-dt-
interface user-medium-r**********" (I checked the -dt-interface **
*arre on the X11).
So using Xephyr I have the AIX CDE, I can work as if I were on the
AIX but :
- no way to run emacs due to font problems (described above)
- color are still messed up even with the -screen option (even if
they look better) (the application I want to use is CATIA)
Using ssh I can now start emacs (some color problem though), but if I
start catia I just get a black screen and I have error message like
"cannot use specified visual", "invalid colormap parameter"
Is this hopeless ? The Hummingbird Exceed software which is another
X11 server is able to run it easily (no extra setup) , so I think
there must be a way...

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?)
