Package: xterm Version: 318-2 Severity: normal The Xterm menu font (menus obtained with Ctrl-click) is too small on high-dpi screen, and there's nothing in the documentation saying how to configure it (neither in the xterm(1) man page, nor in the FAQ).
In particular, it doesn't honor the Xft dpi value. I've tried a suggestion similar to http://askubuntu.com/questions/283830/how-to-change-the-font-of-various-terminal-emulators more precisely, *font: xft:DejaVu\ Sans:Regular:size=10 in my .app-defaults/XTerm file, but I get an error: Warning: Cannot convert string "xft:DejaVu Sans:Regular:size=10" to type FontStruct Ditto with just: *font: DejaVu Sans 10 What needs to be done: * The Xft dpi value should probably be honored by default (that's how I got the menu font scaled in various applications). * Documentation. Note: this is just for the menus, *not* for the terminal fonts (which can be configured without any problem with faceName and faceSize). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20150516-2 ii libutempter0 1.1.6-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.12-2+b1 ii libxft2 2.3.2-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.11-1+b1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.4-1+b1 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+3 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
