Damyan,

Following your instructions I was able to install the extra fonts
recognised by Dosemu 1.2.2.

Thank you very much.

I have successfully installed dosemu to run on the Asus eee pc 701 (http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=24), but only the available version of 1.2.2.

I guess you're using Debian/stable.

The reason for this post: Is it possible to add the larger range of vga fonts that come with 1.4 to 1.2.2 and to use them under 1.2.2 and what would be the correct steps to do (ie what files do I need to configure for them to be recognised by version 1.2.2 (other than adding the appropriate entry in .dosemurc), and where should they be placed?

See the list of files[1] in the dosemu package from unstable[2].

    [1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/dosemu/filelist
    [2] http://packages.debian.org/sid/dosemu

What you need are the font files from /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/dosemu/

If I was you, I'd try downloading[3] the unstable .deb, then opening it
with file-roller or mc and copying the fonts from the package to the
live system. Then run 'xset fp rehash; so that the fonts become
available to the current X session.

HTH,
