See the xterm screenshot enclosed. > XTerm*Font: -monotype-andale mono-medium-r-normal--14-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15 I looked into this last week and it seems the Xserver behaviour has changed with respect to charcell fonts (...-c-...). If you change this to use the monospace variant (...-m-...) it should appear as you expect. This is definately a change in behaviour (as I recall it, previous Xservers treated the two identically), but I'm not sure it is incorrect. Rendering the spaces in the font as little squares probably is an Xserver bug though. Reassigning. X guys: xfd -fn '-monotype-andale mono-medium-r-normal--14-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15' (or the 'charcell' variant of any other truetype monospaced font) and look at all the squares where there should be whitespace. Previous Xservers didn't do the little squares. Is this intentional? Should x-ttcidfont-conf be generating the charcell variants for these fonts at all? (I never really did understand the use-case for charcell fonts; is it meant to be only a CJK thing?) -- - Gus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
