Please note that on some systems, compressed fonts are not recognized.
It may be safer to leave out the compress step entirely. If you are seeing
the "Could not open vga font" message, try leaving the font uncompressed.
Whenever you move fonts around or compress/uncompress them, you must run
mkfontdir again to notify the X server that the fonts have changed.
