...but your Xmacbsd.960512 server can't.  At least I understand that is 
why I couldn't use your server with the 1.3_alpha X distribution.  
Someone else suggested gunzipping the fonts and then compressing them so 
that they could be used with Xmacbsd.960512.  I was presuming that any 
future color server you built would follow the 1.3_alpha method of using 
gzipped fonts rather than compressed fonts, and then the fonts would have 
to be back in gzipped form.  If I understand what you wrote above 
correctly, I would not have to change the fonts back, because the 
1.3_alpha server uses gzip to handle the fonts and it is capable of using 
the fonts in compressed format.  Is my understanding correct?

Cheers,

Sean.
