#198 install-x11-fonts needs to gzip the font
RPM bochs-1.3.pre1-1
Dual Celeron (ye olde abit bp6)
728M Ram
Matrox G400
Mandrake 8.1
Linux enterprise.heronet.2y.net 2.4.8-26mdksmp #1 SMP
Sun Sep 23 16:04:21 CEST 2
001 i686 unknown
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
Install goes without errors, but when starting bochs-
dlx, reports unable to initiate default vga font.
After reinstalling the font manually following the
documentation for compiling bochs, everything works
peachy.
What information do you need from me, and i would be
more than happy to keep testing for you.
Thanks - love it so far!!

Thanks for reporting the problem. Here's what would help me
to fix the script:
1. manually remove the font, restart X font server, and
confirm that bochs CANNOT find the font.
2. as root, run /usr/bochs/latest/install-x11-fonts. This
will attempt to install the font again. Confirm that bochs
cannot find the font.
3. You said you installed it manually, right? This time,
can you test bochs after each step to see which step makes
the difference? That should point to which part of the
script is not working. Then write whatever you find into a
followup on this page.
Thanks!

OK - This is what you asked for, it looks like the script
does not compress the
font properly. Again, this is Mandrake 8.1, and I do not
have the compress command, only gzip. Also, this was
tested on a PIII laptop (compaq) and the SMP Dual Celeron.
It works both times if I gzip the font.
Thanks,
Ron

Thanks for the detective work!
That should be pretty easy to fix.

I fixed this in CVS, so it should be correct in 1.3.
Thank you.
