Dear Debian users, I am using Sarge (3.1r2), and am trying to get the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font to work. I have installed x-ttidfont-conf and fontconfig, and set fontconfig to the "native" setting in debconf. Now, when I do xlsfonts, I see the vera fonts, and xterm -fn "<fontname>" allows me to use the font, albeit in one size. I would like to know how to enable it in higher sizes.
Got it! I got it working by using the -fa option with "xft: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono". Also, I have set XTerm*faceName to that value in my ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources. Of course, this is after configuring fontconfig to "native". Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 462, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Insititute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600036
