Package: xterm
Version: 4.1.0-13
Severity: normal

xterm -fa adobe
xterm:  unable to open font "andale mono", trying "fixed"....

The resulting xterm is anti-aliased, but the type is much lighter than
before so I probably am not getting an anti-aliased adobe font any more. If
you cannot reproduce this error message, please let me know if there is a
way to discover what fonts are actually being used by xterm invoked as
above.

I first noticed this error this morning on any new xterms I invoked.  (The
old ones continued to have the dark typeface until I exited from them.) I
suspect it is due to an apt-get dist-upgrade I did yesterday on my woody
system (but I didn't keep good notes so I am not sure xterm was upgraded
yesterday).  A week or so ago I used the msttcorefonts package to install
all the MS fonts, and I also made the resulting truetype directory
accessible to xfs, but I don't know how that would suddenly start to affect
my xterm fonts this morning.
