Presumably you don't have xfonts-terminus installed. :)

Another symptom to add to the pile:

If I build xterm 264 from source and install to $HOME/opt/xterm,
$HOME/opt/xterm/bin/xterm works fine (using the correct font).  Even
when xterm 264-1 is installed.

So this would seem to be a problem only encountered with the flags
used to build Debian xterm, I guess?

Sorry for the lack of clarity.  By "is unreadable", I meant "uses the
default font, which is hard to read on a high-resolution screen".
