i've just upgraded (for want of a better word) to solaris 2.2, and this has
screwed the fonts being used by sam and 9term. 9term i can get round, by
putting "-font fixed" on the cmd line. but there doesn't seem to be a way
to persuade sam to explicitly grab another font. since i'm not in any way
an x hacker (for obvious reasons), i'm out of ideas. any suggestions?

Install a file called Sam in
/usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults
*width: 500
*height: 600
*font: screenpc
*scrollForwardR: false
*saveUnder: true
*backingStore: WhenMapped
Add your desired font name in there.
I use a modified version of Sun's screen-14 font.

I've had good luck putting
samterm*font: fixed
in my X resources file, or by feeding that line into xrdb:
echo 'samterm*font: fixed' | xrdb -merge
(the '-merge' is important, as otherwise xrdb will assume you want to
set all your resources and helpfully delete everything else...)
