I did so, but it doesn't hepl. I put the fonts in /root/.Xdefaults 
in the following order: 5x8 6x13 9x15 This does make xterm 
smaller but doesn't affect Xfig. 
Xfig still doesn't fit (is larger) into 
a full screen and is therefore unusable. I played with xfig 
options without a success. No geometry can make icons smaller and 
they are the only problem some of them run out of the screen and 
I can't use some of the commands - no sliding bar appears.

I installed xbin and some fonts. But I'm reluctant to download all 
Slackware fonts because I'm not sure they would solve the problems.

Let me explain why I'm so eager to make xfig work. When I write 
a paper in my cottage I need emacs (it works), LaTex (works), 
xdvi (works), eps (works), xpdf (works), and to make figures: 
XFig (doesn't work). 

Cheers,

Harry.
