I'm not an expert on fontconfig, but have you checked that X uses the
/usr/local/share/fonts directory? "xset q" will show you all the
directories in your font path. They are usually specified in the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Changing the latter file requires that
X be restarted. Also, if you're running xdosemu remotely, then you'll
have to add the fonts on the machine that is displaying the window.

Thanks very much Robert for your information and especially your advice
about xset.
My 'xset -q' shows that most of my font directories are in
/usr/share/X11/fonts and subdirectories of that. They are as specified
in xorg.conf.
This contradicts information in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf which says that
fonts can also be in ~/.fonts, /usr/share/fonts and /usr/local/share/fonts.
Is it possible that xset -q only lists the directories specified in
xorg.conf?
I copied all of my vga* fonts into /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
and ran mkfontdir and fc-cache -f -v.
I also rebooted even though xorg.conf was not changed.
However, when dosemu starts it still does not pickup the 12x30 font I
have selected in ~/.dosemurc. All the vga fonts appear in the directory
but the 12x30 font does not appear in fonts.alias.
I checked two other smaller vgannxnn fonts that worked ok but I'd like
to get the 12x30 working.
I renamed fonts.alias and fonts.dir and re-ran mkfontdir but fonts.alias
was not created. Is there a special command to do that?
Thanks for your help.
