Package: xterm Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 Severity: normal I just discovered that xterm has xft support. apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera xterm -fa "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" -fs 9 looks great! I wish I discovered that earlier.
Small problem with this font: under gnome, after switching between workspaces, the xterm which is "on top" of the new workspace looks empty, its contents is not redrawn. (If the xterm is in the middle of the screen and gets partially covered by the workspace switcher mini-window then it is redrawn) Best regards, Meik -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.10-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw8 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxp6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System printing extension ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
