Yes, I had the same problems. I performed a dir decw$terminal:menu*.pcf
on VMS and found several files:
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.100DPI]
MENU10_100DPI.PCF;1 MENU12_100DPI.PCF;1
Total of 2 files.
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.75DPI]
MENU10.PCF;1 MENU12.PCF;1
Total of 2 files.
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.EURO_100DPI]
MENU10_100DPI.PCF;1 MENU12_100DPI.PCF;1
Total of 2 files.
Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.EURO_75DPI]
MENU10.PCF;1 MENU12.PCF;1
Total of 2 files.
Grand total of 4 directories, 8 files.
Do you have these?
After I found these, I ftp'd them to /usr/local/font then I did:
$ xset fp- /usr/local/font
$ mkfontdir /usr/local/font
$ xset fp+ /usr/local/font
and tried MCR DECW$CLOCK again. I no longer got the messages but
I still see the dotted square.
BTW, you might want to hold off on the "enhancement" to .xmodmap-vms
that I posted. It caused unexpected problems when I did added this.
