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. -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Linux
