Keyboard layout and fonts for NetBSD-9/X11R7

[Alexander Shendi (Web.DE)]

Dear List,

I feel seriously intellectually challenged. I have compiled gnu apl under NetBSD (SVN-1271) and all went fine.

But I'm just not up to configuring the X Window System to support APL input and output. These are the steps I've taken so far:
1. set the locale to en_US. UTF-8 (by setting LC_ALL=en_US. UTF-8). 
2. Compile the file trunk/
support-files/old-Keyboard/apl.xkm resulting in a file apl.xkb in the current directory.
3. Try to configure the keyboard. A sample session looks like: (see attached typescript). 
4. I have not even attempted to add the APL fonts to a font directory. More fun. 

Is there any guide on doing this? ELI5, preferably in words of one syllable or less. 

Or should I give up on APL altogether? 

With frustrated salutations, 

-- Alexander
