Bug#404079: xterm: Problem reproducible on unstable only with vttest
Followup-For: Bug #404079
Package: xterm
Version: 231-1
Hello,
I can reproduce this problem on unstable only using vttest (1) (by the
author of xterm).
Here are the steps I followed to do this:
$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 /usr/bin/xterm
Then in the new xterm:
$ vttest
Select "2. Test of screen features"
The screens are correctly displayed until "Graphic rendition test
pattern", "Light background". On the next screen, the characters
(stars, lines, x'es and diamonds) in the bold column are not bold.
After exiting vttest, a test:
$ echo -e ' \033[1;37m\033[40m gYw \033[0m'
does not display gYw as bold (as should be).
If I start xterm with LANG=C, this problem does not show up. In both
cases (LANG=C and LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8), the value of TERM is xterm.
HTH
Greetings,
Fred
