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
