Hello, I am advised by the bitchx faq that the best xterm environment to run bitchx under is rxvt, with the vga11x19 font. So I installed rxvt from the ports tree, and ran: rxvt -bg black -fg white -fn vga11x19 it did indeed start, but I received the error: rxvt: can't load font "vga11x19" Sure enough, I do not have that font. So I searched for it and downloaded the file vga11x19.pcf.gz and placed it into my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory. I then ran `rehash`. However I get the same error from rxvt. How can I incorporate this new font file into my system such that rxvt can find it ? Would it help to just re-init my Xserver ? Or should I be able to drop new font files into that dir and use them on the fly ? thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
