Eterm font errors after adding modules to make customised live CD


Live CD Slax 5.1.8

HI there.
I downloaded several extra modules to customise a live CD. Most of the new software works fine except Eterm and xchm.
At boot up I get an onscreen message about having to run fc-cache, which creates font information caches.
Also, when I run Eterm I get ther error message :

Error: Unable to load font xxxx xxx xxxx . Falling back on k14
Eterm: FATAL : Could not load fallback font either. Giving up.

On looking at the man page I was tempted to use the "F" argument to force Eterm to use a specific font . Which path shall I specify or is this not the solution to the problem ? Does fc-cache hold the answers ? I'm having a similar font problem with xchm.

Thanks for any ideas.

Uncle
