Something like this will work, but fixing the problem with the menus: XTerm*VT100.geometry: 111x36 It's in the FAQ: https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#tiny_menus > > I used xcfe4 for testing, on a virtual machine. > > > > My most recent snapshot (from 2022/11/01) didn't work - some problem > > with X and the window manaager), so I upgraded from 2022/10/29, > > to get a workable machine. > > > > Given that (I also have the terminus font installed), > > I used "xrdb -load" with these resources, and ran xterm > > from the Debian package.

Please note that while I'm an experienced I'd just strace -o trace.log -s 1024 xterm to capture a long trace (~200kb), and look to see if there's something interesting where xterm dies. I also ran xterm using -report-fonts, which shows the fonts opened. > Debian user and long year developer I would not consider myself > an X expert. > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > > -- > http://fam-tille.de -- Thomas E.
