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.

Thanks Bruce,

Think I found out why the fonts I copied didn't work. They're not pcf fonts. Mine look like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4117 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER10_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4370 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER12_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 4786 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER14_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 6227 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER18_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 8906 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER24_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r-- 1 u752359 mkgroup 3435 Jan 23 13:58 COURIER8_100DPI.DECW$FONT

I did a search on VMS from root (I think it was root) on the pcf files but it didn't come up with anything:

ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.pcf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.snf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.bdf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>sho def
$1$DIA2:[000000]

That's all I was able to do though. If I issue the command you used above I get an error:

ISIS-WORK>dir decw$terminal:menu*.pcf
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening DECW$TERMINAL:[000000]MENU*.PCF;* as input
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
ISIS-WORK>


Thanks for your help Bruce.

JS.
