Thanks Almut. That works. More questions. Q1. How can I make the installed font immediately available, without restarting the x session? $ sudo debfoster xfonts-dosemu [...] Unpacking xfonts-dosemu (from .../xfonts-dosemu_1.2.1-3_all.deb) ... Setting up xfonts-dosemu (1.2.1-3) ... $ xlsfonts | grep vga empty, no found. I'm currently managing my fonts via defoma, without xfs. Q2: Is it possible to use those xfonts-dosemu fonts in my broswer? if yes, how? Q3: is there any tool that can translate those PC graphics characters/symbols to utf8 symbols so that they can be displayed properly using font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--12-110-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 reason: - I saw that it have those PC graphics characters/symbols, but not within the ascii range. - the fonts from xfonts-dosemu are too big, even the smallest ones. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
