I'm very frustrated.
I'm trying to use a font called 'vga12x30.pcf.gz` which is a perfect
11" wide x 8.5" high font for dosemu.
There have been multiple attempts to set this and other similar fonts.
Sometimes it works but mostly not.
My procedure is:
0. Starting with a new install of Feisty Fawn Kubuntu with no changes
in fonts.
1. Copy the fonts I want to one of the directories specified in
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf which contains the allowed directories that will
be scanned.
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<!-- Font cache directory list -->
Usually I copy the files to /usr/local/share/fonts/dosemu
2. Run sudo mkfontdir on the above directory.
3. Run sudo fc-cache -f -v which scans all the directories in the
above 'Font directory list'.
I see that fc-cache scans /usr/local/share/fonts/dosemu
but lists zero files. Does this depend on the restart of X or the
computer?
4. Reboot the computer.
5a. Run xlsfonts |grep vga which will pick up my fonts _if_ they have
been registered. Sometimes yes but mostly not.
5b. When I run xdosemu it picks up a smaller font because it cannot
find the 12x30 font.
I've done a lot of research on the web but cannot figure out what I'm
doing wrong. Can someone help me, very please?
