I suppose the problem is something along the lines of the X server returning some error in using the fonts. If it were TrueType fonts, I'd use strace to verify that they're opened -- but for bitmap fonts, that's done on the server side. > > > > > > agreed - > > > > I've not been able to reproduce the problem, which I suspect is in > > the error-recovery section of xterm's xtermLoadFont function. > > > > Perhaps seeing the whole set of resources would help > > (the output of "xrdb -query", too). > > I have: > > $ xrdb -query > *VT100.utf8Fonts.font: fixed > XTermVT100.faceSize: 22 > XTerm*geometry: 111x36 > xterm*vt100.initialFont: 6 > YTerm*geometry: 90x50 > xterm*visualBell: true > Rxvt.keysym.Delete: \b > Rxvt.termName: xterm > XTerm*decTerminalID: 200 > XTerm*color0: black > XTerm*color1: red > XTerm*color2: green > XTerm*color3: yellow > XTerm*color4: blue > XTerm*color5: magenta > XTerm*color6: cyan > XTerm*color7: white > XTerm*color8: black > XTerm*color9: red > XTerm*color10: green > XTerm*color11: yellow > XTerm*color12: blue > XTerm*color13: magenta > XTerm*color14: cyan > XTerm*color15: white > XTerm*termName: xterm > XTerm*title: XTerm > XTerm*colorMode: on > XTerm*background: blue > XTerm*foreground: white > XTerm*loginShell: true > XTerm*dynamicColors: on > > > The crash happens for > > $ xrdb -query > *VT100.utf8Fonts.font: fixed > XTermVT100.faceSize: 22 > XTerm*geometry: 111x36 hmm - I'm still not seeing _this_ problem. (by the way, the geometry resource is over-broad, making the font-menu less than useful). 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. It looks okay to me - no crash. > XTerm.VT100.font1: -*-terminus-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > XTerm.VT100.font2: -*-terminus-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > XTerm.VT100.font3: -*-terminus-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > XTerm.VT100.font4: -*-terminus-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > XTerm.VT100.font5: -*-terminus-*-*-*-28-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > XTerm.VT100.font6: -*-terminus-*-*-*-32-*-*-*-*-*-*-* > xterm*vt100.initialFont: 6 > YTerm*geometry: 90x50 > xterm*visualBell: true > Rxvt.keysym.Delete: \b > Rxvt.termName: xterm > XTerm*decTerminalID: 200 > XTerm*color0: black > XTerm*color1: red > XTerm*color2: green > XTerm*color3: yellow > XTerm*color4: blue > XTerm*color5: magenta > XTerm*color6: cyan > XTerm*color7: white > XTerm*color8: black > XTerm*color9: red > XTerm*color10: green > XTerm*color11: yellow > XTerm*color12: blue > XTerm*color13: magenta > XTerm*color14: cyan > XTerm*color15: white > XTerm*termName: xterm > XTerm*title: XTerm > XTerm*colorMode: on > XTerm*background: blue > XTerm*foreground: white > XTerm*loginShell: true > XTerm*dynamicColors: on > > > I confirm I have installed xfonts-terminus > > $ apt policy xfonts-terminus > xfonts-terminus: > Installiert: 4.48-3.1 > Installationskandidat: 4.48-3.1 > Versionstabelle: > *** 4.48-3.1 500 > 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages > 500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages > 500 http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > > -- > http://fam-tille.de -- Thomas E.
