In a fit of, for lack of a better term, retro-ness, I decided that I wanted to install and play Angband. I installed from pkg, as I am wont to do, and it installed angband and 13 font packages:
However, when I try to fire up
/usr/local/share/angband/fonts/. So I added the directory to /usr/local/etc/X11/fontpath.d/:
as that is where Xorg.0.conf says the catalogue is at. I restarted X, and am still getting the same errors. Note that all of the fonts in /usr/local/share/angband/fonts are .fon format, which are basically executables or dlls. The Handbook states that "The .fot is used by Windows® as sort of a symbolic link to the actual TrueType® font (.ttf) file. The .fon font files are also used by Windows.I know of no way to use this font format with FreeBSD."
So how can I get angband to run?
Thanks,

However, when I try to fire up
angband
, it spits out the error, angband: Couldn't load the requested font. (10x20)
. I found that in addidion to the dozen font packages it installed, it also included a bunch of fonts in/usr/local/share/angband/fonts/. So I added the directory to /usr/local/etc/X11/fontpath.d/:
Code:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/local/share/angband/fonts/"
EndSection
