I'm not a Mandrake User, but I'm assuming the folks at mandrake decided to
enjoy their latest Xfree4.3-based distro by inserting this into the
XF86Config file:
Section ServerFlags
Option DontVTSwitch On
Search for it in the file, and if it exists(I'm pretty sure it does), remove
it. It prohibits exactly what you're trying to do.

I'm guessing fontconfig settings. search for your fonts.conf file, and add an
entry to search the directory in which you store your culmus/mscorefonts in.
In my system(Debian) it's in fonts.local, but I don't know Mandrake's policy
about this. In any case, it should look something like this:
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType</dir>
