Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal xterm's app-defaults make it use a 9x15 font for Large font in non-8tf-8 mode, but in utf-8 it uses a large (and IMHO uglier) 9x18 font. I suspect that this is because -misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* has no corresponding wide character font, so if it is used, display of CJK and etc characters doesn't work. And probably the 9x15 is retained for non-utf because many users would scream if it were changed. But still this is a strange inconsistency between uxterm and xterm. (Perhaps the best fix is getting a full version of the -misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* font. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libexpat1 1.95.8-1 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client libraries m ii xlibs-data 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System client data -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
