I can confirm this bug. The font in xterm (up to 248) used to be the same as in other programs, e.g. gedit or Emacs. But with xterm 249 the font spacing is much wider. Here are some screenshots for a comparison: xterm 248: http://imgur.com/a7DOp.png xterm 249: http://imgur.com/o6QvS.png gedit: http://imgur.com/Kvp3q.png In my ~/.Xresources file I've set the following: xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=12 For now I've reverted to xterm 248 and set it on hold in my system because the new font display is really annoying. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
