The report stumbled on a minor bug (the solution to his problem was to use other features). The bug itself is this: xterm's "Default" font setting corresponds to the command-line -fn option. The -fb (bold) font setting also corresponds to that. For the other font-menu settings, xterm asks the font-server for a corresponding bold font. When switching to a different font and back to "Default", xterm doesn't use the -fb value, but asks the font server for a corresponding bold font. Sometimes that's noticeable. (I believe this bug came in when I modified xterm to do resizing of TrueType fonts). -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
