Yes.   To ensure that x-terminal font services are handled by the
dec x-terminal font daemon (ala VT1200's, etc), you need to have two
things in place:

1) in systartup (or sylogicals:)
   $ define/system DECW$INSTALL_XTERMINAL TRUE
   (you already likely have this in place)

2) in sylogicals:

    $ DEFINE DECW$INSTALL_TCPIP "TRUE"


Now that I think of it-- this does insure that standard x-window
stuff works over tcpip-- I am *not* sure if this includes the font
stuff.   give it a whirl-- let me know.
