Don't you have mkfontdir in FC4?

Dosemu also nees the alias file. One tricky information: the alias file 
has only 2 fields per line, the first is the name that dosemu will use, 
the second (after the space) looks like many field but is not, it is a 
name that must mach exactly what is in the file created by mkfontdir!

I read the mkfontdir manual and it seems that dosemu has provided the fonts 
and all related files (fonts.alias, etc) in /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts,

Can I use those fonts directly?

Thanks.

The error I encounter is that X said I cannot run xdosemu from remote X (in 
this case LTSP), and that I must install dosemu vga font.

The font is already in the dosemu's Xfonts dir, so apparently the Xserver 
cannot see it?

Then, I try to change dosemu $_X_font option to other font that is already 
listed in GDM font, and it works. So, it's a matter of how to add those 
dosemu fonts into GDM I think.

Ugh, pardon me.
Apparently I missed reading Bob's suggestion.
I'll look into /opt right away.
I'll inform the result.
