[VEGH Karoly <karoly.vegh@uta.at>]

Hi all, 

I have an X app, which doesn't want to start since it's missing a
font at me.

utadtnms1.dtnms.sys.uta.at:/home/noc> /usr/local/gams/dtnms/cmds/dtnms.console
font "-dt-application-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" doesn't exist
    while executing

[...]

utadtnms1.dtnms.sys.uta.at:/home/noc>

I have couple of fonts.alias files:

marvin:/home/charlie# locate .alias  | grep font 
/etc/X11/fonts/100dpi/xfonts-100dpi.alias
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/gsfonts-x11.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.alias.update-new
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.alias
marvin:/home/charlie#

But I don't really know how to alias one font to another.

and of course i dont have this -dt- font:

marvin:/home/charlie# xlsfonts | grep dt
marvin:/home/charlie#

I also don't know to which font should I alias it to, since this
is a 120 dpi font ... i thought to a 100 dpi one, but which one?

marvin:/home/charlie# xlsfonts | wc -l
   5648
marvin:/home/charlie#

marvin:/home/charlie# dpkg -l | grep fonts
ii  console-data   1999.08.29-24  Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fallback table
ii  gsfonts        6.0-2.1        Fonts for the ghostscript interpreter
ii  gsfonts-x11    0.16           Make Ghostscript fonts available to X11.
ii  xfonts-100dpi  4.1.0-16       100 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-base    4.1.0-16       standard fonts for X
ii  xfonts-scalabl 4.1.0-16       scalable fonts for X
marvin:/home/charlie#

any help is appreciated.
