I know some people might not want to purchase a program like Cables.app or prefer to go the opensource route. So, I figured I'd post a quick howto here. 8)
1. You need to have CubX installed.
2. You need to install my rxvt package.
3. In the misc section on my web-site, you'll find an archive called vgafonts.tar.gz
Extract the vgafonts.tar.gz file somewhere like /tmp.
Then copy the *pcf files as root to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
cd to that directory & then as root run these commands:
mkfontdir
xset fp rehash
After that, the rest is easy. :wink: Simply kick off rxvt w/ the following command:
rxvt -fn vga -bg black -fg green
Telnet to your favorite ANSI-BBS & enjoy. 8)
You'll find several fonts in the package. I recommend the sabvga or vga font. Try the different ones to find one you like. I posted a screenshot in the screenshots directory. Here's the url:
