If I upgrade to the version of Eterm in testing or unstable, I get horrible grainy fonts (bitmaps, I suppose). This happens either if I call it without giving a --font option on the command line, or if I try to call a specific font with the --font option. The problem is particular to Eterm (there is no similar problem with xterm or rxvt). If I downgrade to the version of Eterm in stable, the problem disappears. I call Eterm like this:
Eterm -v --font 8x16 -O --shade 10 --login-shell & I've tried substituting different font-names after the --font option, but I'm not sure which naming conventions I should be using (the man-page doesn't say), and I get error messages about `unable to load font so-and-so ...'. I also don't know why the old `8x16' font-name no longer works (it continues to work with other applications, such as emacs and xterm). Has anyone seen a similar problem, or does anyone know of a workaround? Thanks very much, Jim
