Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 Severity: normal The file /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm says:
! The fonts here are duplicated in "XTerm" by "*VT100.utf8fonts", but are ! left here for compatibility: *VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 *VT100*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 *VT100*font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 *VT100*font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1 *VT100*font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 *VT100*font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 If I understand correctly, such *VT100*font resources are no longer used and are now replaced by *VT100.utf8fonts resources (preferably). But this doesn't seem to be the case. Indeed, if I do the following: dixsept:~> cp -R /etc/X11/app-defaults . dixsept:~> export XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/app-defaults/ dixsept:~> export XFILESEARCHPATH=$HOME/app-defaults/ dixsept:~> uxterm and in the uxterm, I type "echo \\u20ac", I get the Euro symbol as expected. But now, if I remove the lines *VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 *VT100*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 *VT100*font3: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 *VT100*font4: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1 *VT100*font5: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 *VT100*font6: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 from the $HOME/app-defaults/UXTerm file, restart uxterm and type "echo \\u20ac", then the Euro symbol is no longer visible. This means that the above lines were really necessary. This is either a bug in the xterm program or the above comment is incorrect. IMHO, the *VT100.utf8fonts resources should have the precedence, so I rather see it a bug in the xterm program. Note, before the removal of the lines: dixsept:~> appres UXTerm|grep 'VT100.*font2' *VT100.utf8Fonts.font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 *VT100*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 and after their removal: dixsept:~> appres UXTerm|grep 'VT100.*font2' *VT100.utf8Fonts.font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 *VT100*font2: 5x7 and I have: *VT100*utf8: 1 in both cases. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.10-20050517 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 1.24-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
