using x11r5 font server

[Christofer Olofsson]

That is not a problem.

The same setup works on debian boxen with xfree.
I have port forwarding configured in my .ssh/config which i use across
several machines.

If I use the program fslsfonts it works okay, both against an x11r6
host aswell as the hpux.
