Subject: ye olde vga fonts problem redux

Greetings:

  Voodoo magic strikes!

  Yesterday I was happily running dosemu 1.1.99, everything looked and 
ran great. But this morning when I fired it up I received this popular 
error :

[dlphilp@localhost dosemu]$ ./xdosemu

   You do not have the DOSEMU vga font installed and are running
   remote X. You need to install the vga font on your _local_ Xserver.
   Look at the readme for details. For now we start with an fixed font,
   which does not display all national characters correctly.
   ... be warned

ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "vga"...
ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "9x15"...


  Umm... Absolutely *nothing* was touched from the time I went to bed 
last night until I got up this morning. I did not receive this error 
before today. I'm *not* running X remotely, I'm running it as normal 
user as usual, just like it was run yesterday with no problems. Can 
someone please tell me how to permanently fix this problem ?

  I'm using the binary distribution of 1.1.99, running it from the 
installation directory at /home/dlphilp/mydos/dosemu. This worked 
wonderfully before this morning. The /usr/local/share/dosemu/Xfonts 
directory doesn't exist so the fix at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-msdos@vger.kernel.org/msg02751.html 
does not work. Very frustrated here, can someone help ? TIA!

Best,

Dave Phillips
