Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8 Followup-For: Bug #319179
I have the same problem as the original reporter. Namely, xterm.vt100.utf8Fonts stopped working after xfree86 -> xorg upgrade. You can reproduce the bug as follows: $ xrdb -merge <<'EOF' xterm.vt100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-2 xterm.vt100.utf8Fonts.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 EOF Then start an uxterm. Characters outside the iso8859-1 character set will appear blank. (Note that I defined the resources for the instance 'xterm' and not for the class 'XTerm', as it won't affect the uxterm (which sets the class name to 'UXTerm', but still has the instance name 'xterm')). As I understand from the description, the utf8Fonts.font should override the plain 'font' if the resource utf8 is set (and it is set), which clearly doesn't happen here. Also note that I have locale hu_HU (and uxterm sets it to hu_HU.UTF-8), and I don't use the 'locale: true' resource of xterm. But this is the only meanigful situation in which utf8Fonts could be used, because if one use the 'locale: true' setting, then only one (unicode) font is needed for all locales. On the other hand this "note" is not important, since utf8Fonts has no effect also when 'locale: true' is used. And please note that the above config works with xfree86 version of xterm (4.3.0.dfsg.1-1). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 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.1-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
