When I do 'xterm -fn "-*-fixed-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0208.1983-0"' the font is invisible from the start. > Hmm, so I still don't understand why it doesn't work.

[toto:~]% grep [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.ISO8859-15 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: de_DE.ISO8859-15 OK, from stuffing a lot of debug statements in the code to see what's going on I figured out some things: There are at least three different issues: 1) ion is unable to load the CF_FALLBACK_FONT_NAME "fixed", but does not tell about it. This is a bug and it happens because the ability to load the font is tested with XLoadQueryFont (which succeeds) but the font is actually loaded with XCreateFontSet (which fails) and the code there thinks we *did* already warn that CF_FALLBACK_FONT_NAME could not be loaded and doesn't warn again. So either should ion test the loading of CF_FALLBACK_FONT_NAME with the current locale by using XCreateFontSet or a failure of XCreateFontSet should generate a warning even if the font is CF_FALLBACK_FONT_NAME. 2) The reason that "fixed" doesn't work for me is that it is an alias for "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1" which is of course problematic because I need iso8859-15. I don't know if this is a bug in X11. I'll probably file one and see what happens. So, this was easily fixed by setting CF_FALLBACK_FONT_NAME to "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-*" in config.h and recompiling. 3) Then there's the issue of the invisible fonts. I can confirm now, that X successfully loads all fonts and that it are the right ones. Also, the calls to Xutf8DrawString and Xutf8DrawImageString seem to have sane parameters. Why they don't work is a mystery to me. But it might as well be a bug in X. I don't know anyone with the neccessary knowlege of X to help me here unfortunately. Cheers, Mika Here's some of the output.
