We have a version of XConq 5.1 here that works fines.  Is your font
path set correctly to include the xconq fonts?  If not, the program
will use default fonts.  

Go to the directory where the fonts are located and do the following.

mkfontdir  # Makes it a font directory
xset +fp $cwd  # for some reason fp+ doesn't work on our machines
xset rehash


By the way, Stan Shebs released version 5.3 of Xconq last year.  You
can ftp it from his former school.  I think the ftp site is in the
docs.
