Package: xterm Version: 259-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Utilising FreeType is already done for most of the other common terminal emulators in Debian, and looks vastly better, as well as not using the archaic XLFD/X11 Core Fonts. The following patch to /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm enables font rendering with FreeType. This is already done for most of the other common terminal emulators in Debian, and looks vastly better. I'm not sure if faceNameDoublesize should also be specified, since I just see boxes with or without (while XTerm is linked with fontconfig, gnome-terminal/konsole display Japanese just fine). Is the FreeType/Xft support broken here? This working fine with the default X fonts (9x15), but not when using -fa/.faceName. Maybe I shouldn't be also using Monospace for -fd/faceNameDoublesize, since this doesn't have the necessary glyphs? It would also be nice to display the menus in similar manner, but I didn't find a suitable resource name for that--does one exist? 132a133,135 > *VT100.faceName: Monospace > *VT100.faceSize: 14 Regards, Roger -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (550, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libutempter0 1.1.5-3 A privileged helper for utmp/wtmp ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.1.0-1 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.5+4 X11 utilities Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
