AC> XFree86 will use either the Adobe-donated PostScript rasterizer or
AC> FreeType to scale the fonts, while Xsun uses the XATM built into
AC> Display PostScript,
Not quite. XFree86 up to 4.2.* will use a rasteriser donated by IBM
and Linotype. XFree86 4.3.* will use the FreeType 2 rasteriser.
Neither is quite as good as the Adobe rasteriser, which appears to do
a fair deal of postprocessing on the rasterised bitmaps.
Additionally, it is quite possible that RedHat's setup uses URW++
Nimbus Sans as a substitute for Adobe Helvetica.
As Paul suggested, you should keep one Sun machine and set it up to
serve fonts to your local network (please see ``man fs'' on Solaris
2.5; on newer systems, it's ``man xfs''). Then, set up your XFree86
servers to only use the ``misc'' dir and the sun machine as sources of
fonts. (Keeping a local misc dir will allow you to start a local server
in case the font server crashes).
Good luck,
Juliusz
