When I completely log out and log back in, the underscore character will be invisible in xterm. If I do "xrdb .Xresources", subsequent xterms created will show underscores.
Investigating further, I tried starting with no .Xresources file. This gave me a much-too-small xterm window. When I do "xrdb -merge .Xresources-foobar", which is my normal .Xresources file, I get my favored xterm settings EXCEPT that underscores are invisible. If I don't use the "-merge" flag, then that will cause subsequent xterms to show underscores. What's going on here? How can I fix it?
Here's my .Xresources file: xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono :antialias=true xterm*faceSize: 12 XTerm*renderFont: true XTerm*utf8: 1 xterm*vt100.initialFont: 3 xterm*loginShell: true xterm*vt100*geometry: 80x24 xterm*saveLines: 2000 xterm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48 xterm*foreground: rgb:ee/ee/ee xterm*background: rgb:00/00/00 -- David Griffith d...@661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
