Here's a puzzle for me, a very new user of dosemu (version 0.99.10 as
supplied with redhat linux 6.0 and XFree86-3.3.3.1).

I am running a program that requires a Hebrew font (the program is
called MTR; any font that has the Hebrew alphabet at \200-\232 will
do).  I have such a font for X, called 10x20vgah, and use it by
altering the 'dosemu.conf' line ($_X_font = "10x20vgah").  I start a
terminal, 'gnome-terminal', and call 'xdos'.  All is well, the program 
runs and displays Hebrew as it should.

The puzzle: if I start dosemu from a different terminal, say 'xterm'
or 'rxvt', nothing seems to allow the display of Hebrew characters.
Whether I use the font declaration in 'dosemu.conf' or the '-fn'
option on the command line when starting the terminal, the xdos window 
never in fact uses the correct font (although the terminal itself
does).  Why does it matter which terminal emulator I use, and is there 
any way to set it up so as to allow me to use another terminal?

Any advice or educated guesses will be much appreciated.
