Does anyone know how to get xfrotz to work with Beyond Zork in Linux? I
can get the basics of the game to work, but the "graphical font" never
comes up right. I think xfrotz is supposed to show that correctly, but I
get ASCII chars that are very reminiscent of Rogue or Nethack instead of
the little box and line chars that I've seen in Windows Frotz. Also, I
don't get the opening graphics screen. I have a beyondzo.fon file as
well, but I can't see how to get xfrotz to do anything with it. xfrotz
claims to come with fonts for both Beyond Zork and Journey, so I'm not
sure if the .fon file is even necessary.
Does xfrotz work to the degree I'm expecting with Beyond Zork?
On a similar front, is the maintainer of xfrotz still hanging around the
IF community? I sent him an email (just yesterday) and haven't heard from
him. The email address looks to be from 4 years ago, but it didn't bounce
back. I'm working primarily in Linux now, and might be able to get it up
to the 2.43 frotz core.
