[PLUG] DOSEMU, X, and font madness

["eric@lucii.org" <eric@lucii.org>]

I'm running dosemu 1.2 under Mandrake 9.1
It complains that it likes it's own font, vga.pcf, and cannot find it.

Okay.  

So I follow the instructions in the documentation and copy vga.pcf to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc.  Then I type: mkfontdir in that same
directory.  I see that the fonts.dir now has the vga font in it.

I've restarted the X server, and then I try to use it (just to 
test it out) like this:
  xterm -fn vga
which fails.

Even the mandrake utility drakfont cannot see it (or install it.)

Anybody encounter fonts as stubborn as this before?  What, pray tell, am
I missing here?  

TIA

Eric
