First of all, I am running 2.1.5 RELEASE and have installed pcemu1-01a
off of the cd via sysinstall.
For some reason, I can't get pcemu to find the vga fonts that come with
it! I have a fontpath entry pointing to /usr/local/lib/pcemu/font/ in
/etc/XF86Config...but not luck. I have also tried running the following:
"xset fp+ /usr/local/lib/pcemu/font". I then see the following:"
xset: bad font element (#43), possible causes are:
Directory does no exist or has wrong permissions
(it does! and is root:bin drwxr-xr-x)
Directory missing fonts.dir
(it only has vga.pcf.Z inside...no good)
Incorrect font server address or syntax
(dunno about this one...i just modeled my font path
entry after the others in the config file)"
I would really like to get this working at its best...qbasic and text
editors run ok...but the default font is really nasty. Hopefully,
wordperfect can be tamed, too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
