We have one sun here with OpenWindows3 installed and it has the
standard program used to make snf fonts. It's called 'bdftosnf' and
should be located in $OPENWINHOME/bin/bdftosnf :)
So it shouldn't be any trouble making the fonts on a sun running
OpenWindowns3.

There is another problem though. People using Unix(tm) SystemV might
not be able to generate the bdf file since they allocate to little
space for argv :(
