We're looking to use Nsharp (gem 5.6.j) as a teaching tool in the
classrooms here, but I've been unsuccessful in trying to pipe the display
from a Sun to a PC running X-win32 5.4pl1.  Checking the 'Pseudocolor
mode' from the xwin32 color options tab has no effect, nsharp still
segfaults on startup.  If I run Cygwin on the PC and start an X server 
however, it works like a champ.  Has anyone had luck with Nsharp and 
x-win32?  Relevant startup text is below:

% nsharp
loading clo tables.....
finished reading tables!
Resource File:  /usr/local/gempak5.6.j/resource/Nsharp
Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--17-120-*-*-m-*-*-*" to type FontStruct
Segmentation fault

trussing it gives me:

Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS  %pc = 0x7F7B22B0
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000018
Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default]
siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x00000018
*** process killed ***

Thanks!
