Hi Mentore,

You have to copy fuse.font file into $(datadir)/fuse - on linux this is /usr/share/fuse or /usr/local/share/fuse directory (depending on compile time "prefix"

You may need here some other files too:
cassette.bmp
fuse.font
keyboard.png
keyboard.scr
menu_data.ui
microdrive.bmp
plus3disk.bmp

And you need at least 48.rom in the roms directory... hmm.. maybe /usr/share/fuse/roms ??? 

Maybe your font file is in place, but "bogus".
The fuse.font file length is 1818 byte.

Best regards,
Gergely
