Hi Suners,
It is great how it works.

The solution is (thanks to you):
sun5% cmdtool -fn '-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-2'
OR
sun5% cmdtool -fn -b\&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-2
OR
cmdtool -fn "b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-2"
All works fine.
It is because of that :
The "&" character has special meaning to the shell. It means "run
this command in the background." Reading the error message shows
that the shell thinks that the font is "b" and
h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-2
is another command.
