Package: xfonts-75dpi Version: 1:1.0.4+nmu1.1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: r...@pi.h5.or.at
Dear Maintainer, I wanted to use after a longer hiatus the very old DEC terminal X11 core fonts, eg. term14.pcf.gz -dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 The font files are in the right directory /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi, they are listed in a fonts.dir in that directory (above two lines are from that file), but xlsfonts does not list them, xfontsel does not show them (unlike the similarly old schumacher fonts), and xterm shows root@pix:/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi# grep dec fonts.dir tech14.pcf.gz -dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-dec-dectech techB14.pcf.gz -dec-terminal-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-dec-dectech term14.pcf.gz -dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 termB14.pcf.gz -dec-terminal-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 root@pix:/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi# xterm -fn -dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 xterm: cannot load font "-dec-terminal-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1" Is this a bug in my setup, or a bug in the font, or in some X11 library? If I open the font in "fontforge", everything seems normal to me (I see a bitmap font that looks right to me). Of course this borders on software archeology, but I do like this font, and would love to use it.
