On a machine on which I had installed from ISOs generated from a Sarge snapshot (23rd March, 2005), XTerm used the Bitstream Vera Mono font, and it looked wonderful. The system used XFree86.
Now, on another machine, I have an up-to-date unstable system. While all major apps (KDE+GNOME, Mozilla Firefox etc.) show the fonts pretty well, I am unable to get the Bitstream fonts on my XTerm. Even on Konsole, I see the right font in the preview, but when I select it, the font in the konsole doesn't change. What could be the problem? Thanks. Kumar
