Well this problem was introduced a few years ago (by xorg, of course). I made a couple of workarounds for it, the most recent in Patch #276 - 2011/10/10 * improve recovery when bitmap fonts are not installed, e.g., so that switching font-sizes works for TrueType fonts. However, for _starting_ xterm, that was fixed as far as I recall in patch #254 - 2010/1/6. > fraise ~ # xterm -fn fixed > Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion > > > fraise ~ # xterm > Warning: Cannot convert string > "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct > > > fraise ~ # xterm -fn fixed > fraise ~ # > > (BTW, I'm not subscribed to this list, so please Cc: me) > > _______________________________________________ > xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support > Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg > Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg > Your subscription address: dic...@radix.net -- Thomas E.
