Thanks Bruce,

Think I found out why the fonts I copied didn't work. They're not pcf fonts. 
Mine look like this:

-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      4117 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER10_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      4370 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER12_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      4786 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER14_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      6227 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER18_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      8906 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER24_100DPI.DECW$FONT
-rw-r--r--    1 u752359  mkgroup      3435 Jan 23 13:58 
COURIER8_100DPI.DECW$FONT

I did a search on VMS from root (I think it was root) on the pcf files but 
it didn't come up with anything:

ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.pcf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.snf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>DIRECTORY [...]*.bdf
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found
ISIS-WORK>sho def
  $1$DIA2:[000000]

That's all I was able to do though. If I issue the command you used above I 
get an error:

ISIS-WORK>dir decw$terminal:menu*.pcf
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening DECW$TERMINAL:[000000]MENU*.PCF;* as input
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
ISIS-WORK>


Thanks for your help Bruce.

JS.
