Latest dosemu and vga fonts

[Ralph Alvy]

Just moved from RedHat to Debian (Libranet 2.8.1), and installed the
binaries with a local install. I forget how to get out of this vga error
scenario (I have readlink on my system, by the way):

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: Unable to open console to evaluate the keyboard map.
Please specify your keyboard map explicitly via the $_layout option
ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "vga"...
ERROR: X: Unable to open font "vga"ERROR: , trying "9x15"...

I already tried 'xset fp default' since I know that worked for me under
RedHat 8 when I had similar problems. This time it fails to resolve the
problem. Here's what I find in the above directory:

ralvy@libranet:~$ ls -l /home/ralvy/dosemu/freedos/../Xfonts
total 36
-rw-r--r--    1 ralvy    ralvy         425 Jun  6 15:32 fonts.alias

Just to be clear on this, the first entry for Font Path, as reported by
'xset q' is 

/home/ralvy/dosemu/freedos/../Xfonts

And I have readlink installed.

try
xset fp default
if that doesn't help then check the contents of the above directory.
