Hello,
I am advised by the bitchx faq that the best xterm
environment to run bitchx under is rxvt, with the
vga11x19 font.
So I installed rxvt from the ports tree, and ran:
rxvt -bg black -fg white -fn vga11x19
it did indeed start, but I received the error:
rxvt: can't load font "vga11x19"
Sure enough, I do not have that font. So I searched
for it and downloaded the file vga11x19.pcf.gz and
placed it into my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
directory. I then ran `rehash`.
However I get the same error from rxvt.
How can I incorporate this new font file into my
system such that rxvt can find it ? Would it help to
just re-init my Xserver ? Or should I be able to drop
new font files into that dir and use them on the fly ?
thanks.

You need to rebuild your font path. Refer to the handbook. There is a
section which explains how to intall fonts. It simply does not involve
downloading and copying the font file into the font path.
