You cannot use MacX 1.2 fonts with MacX 1.5 because MacX 1.5 does not support the compiled fonts in MacX 1.2. To add fonts to MacX 1.5 the fonts must be BDF or PCF format.

As of February 1996, MacX 1.5 does not support either compressed (.pdf.Z, .bdf.Z, or .spd), or outline formats contained within Mac X 1.5. However, you can still access these fonts from your Font server.

The MacX 1.5 manual contains a complete description on the installation and addition of Fonts to the MacX 1.5 fonts list. You can either add fonts to an existing directory, or add a complete directory to the font path.

A complete description of this process is in the "MacX User's Guide," Chapter 9, page 103-104.
