Dosemu (xdos) lookink for vga font in /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc/ directory, but RedHats package places this font to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ directory. Workaround: mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc cd /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc cp ../../X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf . mkfontdir . xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc HINT: Try to recompile it with right path ;-)
I was unable to replicate this problem in dosemu-0.98.1-2
*** Bug 181 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** vga.pcf (in .../X11/.../font/misc/) directory is not recognized by X11, so when you execute xdos or xtermdos the font is not used. (So, e.g. you don't have the nice dos border character) This happens to unresolved dependencies with the rpm containing the X11 font! in the font/misc directory, the vga.pcf file exists but is NOT mentioned in font.alias. To fix it: Edit the font.alias file, replace "72" with "73" in the first line and add a line "vga.pcf vga" at the end of the file. Dear Redhat RPM-Maintainer, pls. add this to you future dosemu rpms, thanks. ------- Additional Comments From pbrown 11/24/98 16:34 ------- This probably won't get fixed until 6.0, when the X11 font directories gain the ability to be rebuilt automatically by RPM whenever they are "touched" by a package being installed or uninstalled.
