Package: xterm
Version: 249-1
Severity: normal
My use case is to align the xterm font display with the default font
used by GNOME. As an example the Gedit program uses Monospace 10 as the
system fixed width font. I believe Monospace is mapped to DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Book. The default size is 10pt. I set XTerm*faceName to
Monospace and XTerm*faceSize to 10. See the output for xrdb -query
below for full resource settings. With these resources assigned xterm
does use the same font as Gedit. "[Font] tracking increases the space
between characters evenly, regardless of the characters
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning)." The xterm output has much
wider tracking than the Gedit (and other GNOME applications such as
gnome-terminal) output.
To reproduce this bug set the XTerm resources as listed below and then
type:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Compare the width of the sentence in xterm versus gnome-terminal or
gedit. Xterm will be longer. GNOME applications produce nicer output,
therefore I have filed this as a bug in xterm.

XTerm*faceName: Monospace
XTerm*faceSize: 10

Xcursor.theme: default
Xcursor.theme_core: true

Xft.rgba: rgb
