My problem was that dxbook would not display certain books on remote
X servers, looping the server instead.
Thanks to Jens Arnth Jensen (jarnth_at_dscc.dk) for the answer which is that
I needed to install the X fonts in the directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/100dpi
on my remote X servers.
A couple of comments. Why on earth does dxbook handle a missing font so badly?
A properly designed program would report an error.
