Hello,
I think the problem with the colours might be the colour depth. You should
set it to 8bpp. Also I think you have to run it fullscreen or it takes your
win32 default colour depth.  I use cygwin and Xwin and use this command, it
should be similar,  
XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 -query foxbox

For the fonts, the easiest way for DM is to copy /usr/fox/wp/fonts to your
machine and add the path when calling xfree86.  Or try using xset before
calling XWin,
XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 fp+ /usr/foxboro/fonts -query foxbox
or
xset +fp /usr/foxboro/fonts
XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 -query foxbox

If you are using Foxview, there are fonts under the openwindows directory
you need, can't remember which ones at the moment.  Or you could set up a
font server and add that to your fontpath.

Hope this helps.

Sean

Hi,
 

I am triyng with the xfree86. I have already installed, but, the colors are
bad. With exceed the fix was enable pseudocolor, but I do not know what can
I do in the xfree. I think that I will have problems with the fonts too.

 

Someone has experience with the xfree? What can I do ?
