Package: xterm
Version: 330-1
File: /usr/bin/xterm

I did
$ xterm -report-fonts
and voila it spawns another xterm in the process.

What if
$ xterm -version
did the same?

You see I was reading
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/96962/how-can-i-find-the-default-font-resource-xterm-is-using

Because I want to tell you that of
$ unicode 絶 絕|grep U+
U+7D76 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-7D76
U+7D55 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-7D55

I can see the first, but not the second.

$ xrdb -q|grep font:
*VT100.font:    -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

As already mentioned by Thomas, this is expected behavior.  If you
change the font in the newly started xterm with Ctrl-mouse-3, it will
report that on stdout which seems absolutely reasonable to me.

The xterm version is a constant, whereas the loaded fonts are subject to
change.

Cheers,
