I managed to detect the twofold origin of my |
| 2 |
xterm-crashing-on-Ctrl+click problem: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
.Xresources has a line |
| 5 |
XTerm*geometry: 80x22 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
It should be |
| 8 |
XTerm*VT100.geometry: 80x22 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
It seems this is a common error (source: |
| 11 |
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xterm#Menus) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The other is the font path: I had (reported by "xset q"): |
| 14 |
/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This is more or less what the man page for Xserver says is the |
| 17 |
default. However, the first entry is breaking things: removing |
| 18 |
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ causes xterm to have the expected behaviour re |
| 19 |
menus. So, what is wrong here? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
$ ls /usr/share/fonts/misc/ |
| 22 |
10x20.pcf.gz 6x10.pcf.gz 7x13O.pcf.gz 9x15B.pcf.gz fonts.scale |
| 23 |
12x13ja.pcf.gz 6x12.pcf.gz 7x13.pcf.gz 9x15.pcf.gz k14.pcf.gz |
| 24 |
18x18ja.pcf.gz 6x13B.pcf.gz 7x14B.pcf.gz 9x18B.pcf.gz micro.pcf.gz |
| 25 |
18x18ko.pcf.gz 6x13O.pcf.gz 7x14.pcf.gz 9x18.pcf.gz nil2.pcf.gz |
| 26 |
4x6.pcf.gz 6x13.pcf.gz 8x13B.pcf.gz encodings.dir |
| 27 |
5x7.pcf.gz 6x9.pcf.gz 8x13O.pcf.gz fonts.alias |
| 28 |
5x8.pcf.gz 7x13B.pcf.gz 8x13.pcf.gz fonts.dir |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Should I remove /usr/share/fonts/misc/ from the font path? Will it not |
| 31 |
break something else? |
| 32 |
And what is the standard way to set the font path? I know I can do it |
| 33 |
via the -fp flag of Xorg (I start X via xinit), but I assume most |
| 34 |
people don't do this. |

Thanks, |
