Package: xterm
Version: 232-1
Severity: normal
If I invoke the application with
uxterm -fa monospace -fs 12 -bg black -fg white
the settings match those provided by gnome-terminal by default.
Yet (u)xterm doesn't display some characters properly. Sometimes (with
fonts such as monospace) it at least hints at them being there by drawing
boxes, but with the Debian-provided default font and some other fonts it only
draws spaces. This affects for example the following greek letters:
'ΩϡϿ'
With monospace the omega (Ω) is shown correctly, but the other two are
not. The same characters work fine in gnome-terminal.
