Hi Jim, I think I use a reduced local install. My .xinitrc says: mkfontdir $HOME/.dosemu xset fp+ $HOME/.dosemu
... where ~/.dosemu contains my copy of vga.pcf.gz ... (no fonts.* and no other *.pcf* files there) > In the ..../share/dosemu/Xfonts directory, you should find several > pcf.gz font files: > fonts.alias > fonts.dir > vga10x20-cp866.pcf.gz ... > vga.pcf.gz I still wonder why xdosemu wants to use the font, I had assumed it would always use the virtual BIOS font for xdosemu and only use a PCF font for (non-x) dosemu in a terminal (xterm, konsole, ...) in recent versions? Eric PS: Details may have changed since 2003, I just copied and pasted the above suggestion from an old list mail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
