The recent post about mods necessary for MEDM were nice. What is the trick
for getting the fonts DM2K needs? - I see many messages like:
dm2kInit: unable to load font widgetDM_4, trying default (fixed) instead.
Which magic widget manipulating command must one enter to resolve this?

Late, but...
all the fixed-size dm2k (and medm also IIRC) fonts are usually defined
using aliases. There should be some sample fonts.aliases-files with
every dm2k-distribution.
Ours e.g. looks like that:
widgetDM_4 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-60-100-100-c-50-iso8859-1
widgetDM_6 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-60-100-100-c-50-iso8859-1
widgetDM_8 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--9-80-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
widgetDM_10 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
widgetDM_12 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
widgetDM_14 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-110-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
widgetDM_16 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
widgetDM_18 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1
widgetDM_20 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-c-100-iso8859-1
widgetDM_22 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-1
widgetDM_24 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-1
widgetDM_30 -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-125-iso8859-1
widgetDM_36
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1
widgetDM_40
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-182-iso8859-1
widgetDM_48
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-182-iso8859-1

1. Put these 16 lines in a file named "fonts.alias" in an otherwise
empty directory
2. enter this directory and issue a "mkfontdir" once in there (it'll
create a file named fonts.dir with contents "0")
3. You can now do on of the following (I usually do 2. but 3. could
be easier to maintain...):
1. Issue the command "xset fp+ `pwd`"
This will add the current directory to the font-path *for
the current session*.
This setting will be lost after logout!
2. add the path of your just created font-directory to you
X-Server-config (/etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
or whatever...)
to add this setting to the default font-path for every
session managed by this X-server
3. Add this directory to your font-server-config (e.g.
/etc/X11/fs/config), restart the fontserver and use this
machine as the network-wide font-server for medm/dm2k-fonts
For Windows-based X-Servers, the procedure is about the same, except,
that there's usually graphical frontends to configure font-paths,
-servers, -aliases and the like...
Hope, it helps,
Thomas
