You must add the ${PREFIX}/share/bochs/fonts directory to your X server's font path. For XFree86, add the line: FontPath "${PREFIX}/share/bochs/fonts" in the "Files" section of your XF86Config file. This is /etc/XF86Config for XFree86 version 3, and /etc/X11/XF86Config for XFree86 version 4. If you use a different X server, please see its documentation on how to do this. Then re-start your X server. +--------------- | Bochs requires a .bochsrc file to be present in either your current | directory or your home directory before starting. A sample of the | .bochsrc file can be found in ${PREFIX}/share/bochs/bochsrc +---------------
