We investigate FUSE spectra of three PG1159 stars and do not find any
evidence for iron lines. From a comparison with NLTE models we conclude a
deficiency of 1-1.5 dex. We speculate that iron was transformed into heavier
elements. A soft X-ray Chandra spectrum of the unique H- and He-deficient star
H1504+65 is analyzed. We find high neon and magnesium abundances and confirm
that H1504+65 is the bare core of either a C-O or a O-Ne-Mg white dwarf.Comment: To be published in: Proceedings 13th European Workshop on White
