It depends on configuration. Rather than being a "new bug", it seems that fixes to make the warnings more consistent made these appear (for you at least). If I recompile #326 with the debugging trace, it shows the problem. The warnings are because the derived font-names for double-width (-fw) fonts aren't loadable. I wouldn't notice this with my Debian machines for instance because the fontpath includes the ":unscaled" feature, which allows the bitmap fonts to be scaled. https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/Xserver.1.html Comparing configuration, I see that cygwin has something like that, but the feature isn't working. You can turn the font-warnings off using a resource setting. http://invisible-island.net/xterm/manpage/xterm.html#VT100-Widget-Resources:fontWarnings -- Thomas E.
