	Hello, here I am again with some troubles.

	Well, I have an HP 9000-350 machine, working with HP-UX 6.5 and
X-Windows. This machine runs on a LAN with some Sun 3/50 Workstations. Common
LISP II runs on the HP machine and uses the Xwindow environment to make some
developments. My trouble becomes because I would like to use the Sun
workstations as graphic servers for LISP, and so, I could have three machines
in which the people could develop Lisp programs and interfaces.

	This is my desire, but the when I try to initialize the window system
on the lisp environment, it says that he cant find the font "roman", the
message is:

> (initialize-windows :display "murillo:0.0")
;;; Warning: Cannot allocate color on monochrome display #<DISPLAY murillo 0>
>>Error: Unknown font at startup: roman

INITIALIZE-WINDOWS:
   Rest arg (ARGS): (:DISPLAY "murillo:0.0")
   Keyword arg 1 (DISPLAY): "murillo:0.0"

:A    Abort to Lisp Top Level
->

	"murillo" is the sun machine where I'm running the X-Server, that is
X11-R3. The font roman didn't existed on this machine, but I have placed it on
the right directory, and I've created windows using this font. There is no
problem with it.

	So, does any body understood the problem?, Does anybody know the
solution?, Are there any solution?.

	I belive that the source of the problem is HP Common LISP II, because
there is no way to tell him that he can use another font till the window
manager is initialized, and it can't be initialized if it can't find the font
ROMAN. (that's a dead-lock).

	Well, thanks a lot to everybody who have read this article, more
thanks to those who will answer.

	I promise to post the solution if I find it.
