Package: xterm Version: 327-2 Severity: minor If I define the faceName resource, e.g. with
XTerm*faceName: Monospace in the .Xresources file (read by xrdb), then the -fn (-font) option is ignored. For instance, xterm -fn 7x13 has no effect. Options normally override the default resources, but this is not the case here. And the observed behavior is not documented. As a workaround, one can do: xterm -fa '' -fn 7x13 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7+b1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1 ii libutempter0 1.1.6-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13-1+b2 ii libxft2 2.3.2-1+b2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b3 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+3+b1 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information
