With just xfonts-base, I get the following: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-narrow--25-180-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1 > Tested with "xterm" as well as with with xscreensaver; xterm gets > the font with "xfonts-100dpi" but not without: > > xterm -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' Using xterm -fa '' -fn '-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' (to disable the default font the X ressources, as -fa overrides -fn), I get the helvetica font, while I don't have xfonts-100dpi, just xfonts-base. > So perhaps there is something else loaded on your system that is > making Xlib able to find Helvetica and Courier.
