The older versions of svgalib than 1.2.9 are broken (compressed fonts).
As djgpp's svgalib is 1.2.7, it wont work with it. I ran into the same
problem with game lincity. It compiled and worked fine exept fonts were
strange. I do not know how to fix it. I'm sure that Mihai Cartoaje can
give you the rightest answer. Try: moisemih AT ift DOT ulaval DOT ca.
Executables are in DOS static. There are no shared libraries in DOS.
Try to compile with -static in Linux.
