Hi,

I am trying to install a cp850 font without success:

I dounloaded cp850.bdf.gz from http://aspell.net/charsets/
# gzunzip cp850.bdf.gz
the resulting file cp850.bdf.gz looks just fine
# bdftopcf cp850.bdf | gzip > cp850.pcf.gz
# mv cp850.pcf.gz /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts
# mkfontdir /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts
I edited the /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts/fonts.alias and included
cp850        -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp850

but if I use $_X_font = "cp850" I get the message:
ERROR: X: Unable to open font "cp850", using builtin

What am I doing wrong? ( I tested many variants of this, including doing 
it in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and restarting the Xfont server
