Chapter 9. Installing the VGA font


    If you do not have the VGA font installed, you will need
    to install it first (you can check this by skipping to
    step 6, and checking whether running the VM gives an error
    message).  You will only have to do this once.  The VGA font
    resides in misc/vga.pcf.  In order to install it, you'll need
    to be root.  Put it in the X fonts 'misc' directory and do
    what is necessary on your system to rebuild that font
    directory and let your system know about the update.

    For example, on Mandrake 7.1:
        user> su
        root> cp misc/vga.pcf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
        root> gzip            /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf
        root> chmod ugo+r     /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/vga.pcf.gz
        root> mkfontdir       /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
        root> killall -HUP xfs   # notify font server of the change
        root> xset fp rehash
        root> exit
