[c***@CSIC.UMD.EDU]

all of my previous
projects never gave
me this error.

but all of a sudden
bochs is kinda
missing or
something?

Are you sure that you're installing your fonts properly? Remember from
project 0 when we had to download and install that fonts tarball? I
extracted that to ~/font and modified a dot file so that when I login,
it automatically runs:

xset +fp ~/font

Have you tried running that before you run bochs to see if that
works?(with the appropriate path to the fonts, of course)

i never had to install fonts for the linuxlab. i just unzipped and untarred the
project tarball and gmake it. it always ran bochs perfectly fine. i'll try
installing fonts on monday in the lab. i don't understand why it stopped working
now though. why would i have to install fonts now and not for p0-p5 ?

I don't remember perfectly, but I do recall encountering that fonts
problem in project 0, so I made myself a little login script for my
shell that automatically loaded the fonts from my home directory on the
linuxlab, and I never had problems again. I'm not sure why you'd only
be encountering this issue now.
