Package: rxvt-unicode Version: 7.5-1 Severity: important I normally use Xft fonts with urxvt to get antialiasing. Upon upgrade urxvt refuses to run. If I remove the Xft font settings from my .Xresourses file then it runs again. However just specifying an Xft font causes it to fail to start. I have bitstream vera sans mono installed, and have been using that with previous releases. This is the startup example given in the man page. It fails as shown:
$ xlsfonts | grep -i vera.sans.mono.medium.*iso10646-1 -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1 -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1 -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1 -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1 $ urxvt -fn "xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15" urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting. Note that all other default codepages show up for the font as well, just that I did not want to spam them all here. Running with LANG=C does not change the symptoms. Other -fn settings work. Including: $ urxvt -fn "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1" But no anti-aliasing occurs. urxvt does seem to be linked to Xft as expected. $ ldd /usr/bin/urxvt linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0xb7f31000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7f02000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0xb7eec000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7e21000) libperl.so.5.8 => /usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8 (0xb7d01000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7cfc000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7cd6000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7cc3000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7b8d000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7b5f000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7b54000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7ae6000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7ad2000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb7ac9000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7aa9000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7a9b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f56000) It's not clear from the bug reports: * #348666: rxvt-unicode: default font lost with upgrade ? * #348697: rxvt-unicode: forget to load the app-defaults file but they might be related to this issue instead of a separate app-defaults issue? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages rxvt-unicode depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.11 Debian base system master password ii libc6 2.3.5-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-8 GCC support library ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-1 Shared Perl library ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxpm4 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X pixmap library ii ncurses-base 5.5-1 Descriptions of common terminal ty rxvt-unicode recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Tim Riker - http://Rikers.org/ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Embedded Linux Technologist - http://eLinux.org/ BZFlag maintainer - http://BZFlag.org/ - for fun! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
