I mentioned that the -fa switch was not working at all. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I've since discovered that the xterms I had were compiled with useflag |
| 9 |
truetype disabled .. so `-truetype' Which meant xterm was compiled |
| 10 |
without support for -fa |

I've recompiled xterm with useflag truetype enabled and now I have the |
| 15 |
-fa flag so I can run the command you mentioned above now. |

That is a nice looking font... a little big on my view but |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I see something a bit off here... trying to get a smaller font of the |
| 20 |
same type I went clear down to 4x6... but those all look just like |
| 21 |
the "9x15B-ISO8859-1" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
xterm -fa 4x6-ISO8859-1 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Does not say anything by way of error or explanation just shows a |
| 26 |
terminal with the same font displayed as "9x15B-ISO8859-1" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
That can't be a desirable outcome. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
It must just be displaying the same size from 9x 8x 7x 6x 5x 4x. and |
| 31 |
doing so silently. |

I'm not running a font server. |

Thanks for the link... much as I been googling I'm surprised I did not |
| 43 |
see that one already... it looks quite thorough. |
