Getting X11 mode to work on all variants

[Therem Harth]

I just tried compiling and running Oangband using X11 instead of SDL, and got this on running.

./oangband: Couldn't load the requested font. (8x16x)

The requested font does in fact exist. What's going on?

X11 doesn't use the Angband fonts - it uses system fonts.

Your options include using 1.1.0 instead of 1.1.0u, or editing main-x11.c to change the default font name (just 8x16 should work, or whatever else you like).

I have the exact same problem, in FAAngand 1.2.1 on Linux. What should I write in main-x11.c?

I mean after compiling, when I try to run the game, I get the error message:
src/faangband: Couldn't load the requested font. (8x16x)

The problem is that config.h is really messed up. The easiest thing to do is edit the DEFAULT_FONT_ values in config.h to something sensible, like

/*
 * OPTION: Default font (when using X11).
 */
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT		"9x15"


/*
 * OPTION: Default fonts (when using X11)
 */
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_0		"10x20"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_1		"9x15"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_2		"9x15"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_3		"5x8"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_4		"5x8"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_5		"5x8"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_6		"5x8"
#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT_7		"5x8"

That fixed the problem. Now it works fine. Thank you. This game is awesome,
