I just set up a disk with -current to try out the doscmd DPS emulator,
which I will need to move a production system to FreeBSD. Unfortunately,
I haven't had much luck. Running a program called ThinkTank, I got
a cryptic error message saying that doscmd didn't support an INT 10
(video BIOS) function the program called. (It mostly does direct screen
writes, so the call must have simply been the one that sets the cursor
to be invisible.) So, I tried recompiling the program with X support.
I launched it under xdm, and it then complained that it needed a "vga.pcf"
font file. Found a font called vga11x19, added it, did a mkfontdir, rehashed, 
exited, re-entered, and the emulator STILL complained it didn't have the font.

What's going on?
