This works for me: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
XTerm*activeIcon: true |
| 41 |
XTerm*background: black |
| 42 |
XTerm*foreground: green |
| 43 |
XTerm*cursorColor: Red |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
XTerm*multiScroll: on |
| 46 |
XTerm*jumpScroll: on |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
xterm*FaceName: xft:Source Code Pro:pixelsize=14:style=Regular |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
XTerm*ScrollBar: false |
| 51 |
XTerm*SaveLines: 1024 |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
There's a Gentoo package for that font (which I can highly recommend). |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Perhaps it has to do with a font not being available in the size needed |
| 57 |
for the menu? |

Try using another window manager? |
