Then that does sound like the same bug.

"UXTerm*font: 9x15" could be a different problem.  xterm uses two sets of
fonts.  An "*" (asterisk) will cause the iso10646 fonts to be ignored since
they're given by a path such as

	uxterm.vt100.utf8fonts.font

which would conflict with (what you intend the 9x15 to apply to):

	uxterm.vt100.font
