Package: xterm
Version: 344-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While using proportional fonts, the Greek letter pi (π) is treated as
a box-drawing character or, more likely, as missing from the
proportional font altogether. This happens _only at certain point
sizes_ AND/OR _only with specific fonts_.
Scenario 1: Greek pi works, but box-drawing does not
----------------------------------------------------
With these settings:
xterm.vt100.faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 10
XTerm.vt100.forceBoxChars: false
The greek letter pi is displayed correctly, but the second vertical line
(drawn with U+2502) is almost the same as the first one (drawn with
U+007C).

Scenario 2: Greek pi does not work, but box-drawing does
--------------------------------------------------------
With these settings:
xterm.vt100.faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 10
XTerm.vt100.forceBoxChars: true
The Greek letter pi is drawn using a fixed-size (bitmap) font. The
second vertical line is properly displayed using box-drawing characters.
Image: https://protesilaos.com/assets/images/attachments/xterm_grpi_boxchars_scenario2.png
Scenario 3: faceSize: 9.5 forceBoxChars: false works for both
-------------------------------------------------------------
With these settings:
xterm.vt100.faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 9.5
XTerm.vt100.forceBoxChars: false
Everything appears to work as intended.
Image: https://protesilaos.com/assets/images/attachments/xterm_grpi_boxchars_scenario3.png
Scenario 4: Fira Code works using settings from scenarios 1 and 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With these:
xterm.vt100.faceName: Fira Code
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 10
XTerm.vt100.forceBoxChars: false
Or this changed:
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 9.5
Everything seems to work as intended.
Image: https://protesilaos.com/assets/images/attachments/xterm_grpi_boxchars_scenario4.png
Scenario 5: forceBoxChars always breaks Greek letter pi (π)
-----------------------------------------------------------
With these settings:
xterm.vt100.faceName: Fira Code
xterm.vt100.faceSize: 10
XTerm.vt100.forceBoxChars: true
Regardless of typeface, enabling forceBoxChars will always draw the
letter pi in a bitmap font.
