 Complete logfiles are attached (I recall this is a Dell Optiplex GX270).

Thanks for the logs.

 So it seems that the builtin patch doesn't work here.

Indeed.  The problem is that zero isn't recognised as a valid 
TweakMemorySize() return.  The attached, which I've already committed, 
should fix this.

Thanks.

Marc.

The point of using XListFonts() is that it'll resolve fixed  variable
to their respective XLFDs which can then be passed to XftFontOpenXlfd().



I have installed Xorg 7.2.0 release and here XListFonts() returns
fixed if called with fixed, which XftFontOpenXlfd() unfortunately
cannot load.  Maybe this is a bug in XftFontOpenXlfd() or in
XListFonts(), it actually doesn't matter;  but as long as it is so
coding fixed as a default (at least for 7.2.0) is very inconvenient
for the end user (as there is as is no DefaultFont keyword to change the
default font), in fact resulting in twm being unusable.



Some possible solutions: (1) agree on a different than fixed font
which XftFontOpenXlfd() in all X11-implementations can definitely load;
(2) let mono-10 or some other ttf-font be the default if XFT is
compiled in.  (1) makes not that much sense in the case one has to drop
fixed anyway.


There is a third option:  change TWM_USE_XFT to TWM_ALLOW_XFT and make the 
use of libXft configurable (default to no), instead of forcing it.
