How to add font

[Fernando Augusto]

Hi Fajar,

I had exactly the same problem and I solve this way:

You must copy vga fonts to LTSP enviroment either!

So,

Copy vga files in /usr/share/dosemu/Xfonts/

vga10x20-cp866.pcf.gz
vga11x19.pcf.gz
vga-cp866.pcf.gz
vga.pcf.gz

to /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

Execute this command in same path after copy the files:
# mkfontdir

Check in file /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir exists the follow lines:

vga-cp866.pcf.gz -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp866
vga.pcf.gz -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-p-80-ibm-cp437
vga10x20-cp866.pcf.gz -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp866
vga11x19.pcf.gz -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--19-190-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp437

Add this lines above in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias file:

vga          -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-p-80-ibm-cp437
vga11x19     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--19-190-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp437
vgacyr       -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp866
vga10x20     -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp866
vga-ua       -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--17-160-75-75-c-80-ibm-cp1125
vga10x20-ua  -dosemu-vga-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-ibm-cp1125


Sorry my poor english!


Fernando.

Hi all,
I have this situation.
I setup an LTSP environment with my FC4, and I also I setup dosemu.
The problem is, when LTSP client connect to the server, and try to run dosemu 
in X, it said:
You don't have the Dosemu vga font installed and are running remote X. You 
need to install the vga font on your _local_ Xserver. Look at readme for 
detail.

Ok, so I uncommented the font section in the X:
$_X_font = "vga"

But the problem persists:
Error:X: Unable to open font "vga", using builtin X
Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource 
denied).

I have tried xhost +, but no good.


How do I installed dosemu fonts in FC4? Dosemu has provide all the font files 
such as fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts pcf.gz.

Thanks.
Fajar
