I'm trying to run a turkish dbase IV application in dosemu. Everything works except turkish characters are displayed wrong. Is there a turkish font in the package? If so how do I choose it?

    You can either set it in autoexec.bat using something like:
    lh display con=(ega,857,1)
    mode con codepage prepare=((857) z:\cpi\ega.cpx)
    mode con codepage select 857

    or set $_internal_char_set="cp857" in ~/.dosemurc and set $_X_font to any X unicode font.
    (e.g:
    $_X_font="-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1"
    )
    The second method only works with 1.4.0.

    I tried the first method, because i'm using the dosemu from ubuntu feisty repos which is <1.4.0.

    dosemu boots fine:
    FreeDOS DISPLAY ver. 0.10
    Uncompressing and loading UPXed CPI (CPX) file :-).
    MODE select codepage 857 function completed

    But I still get weird glyphs when I type turkish characters and when I run a program with turkish characters.
