--- Begin Message ---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). Image: https://protesilaos.com/assets/images/attachments/xterm_grpi_boxchars_scenario1.png 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.
