I've seen occasional comments where package updates didn't work as intended. Either way, "dpkg -L xfonts-terminus" tells me that the relevant files are in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc If xset reports that's in the font path, I'd try (based on the manpage) sudo mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc or (by habit, since long ago it ignored the parameter...) cd /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc sudo mkfontdir and restart X. -- Thomas E.

It could still be a configuration problem -- I seem to recall seeing cases where mkfontdir wasn't run on font updates. xlsfonts should show the terminus fonts in its (usually long) output. For instance, on my Debian/oldstable, I get 494 lines from xlsfonts | grep terminus (including an alias "terminus-32"). xlsfonts doesn't use any of those font-related libraries, talks directly to the X server. The Xlib calls that xterm uses for bitmap fonts (e.g., Terminus) should use the same information. If you were using a TrueType font, xterm and xfd would use the Xft and fontconfig libraries (the "font-related" libraries that I mentioned). xterm and xfd if using "-fa" (rather than "-fn") will ask fontconfig for the font, and it does know enough to do that, e.g., xfd -fa terminus-32 xterm -fa terminus-32 -- Thomas E.

Please note that while I'm an experienced I'd just strace -o trace.log -s 1024 xterm to capture a long trace (~200kb), and look to see if there's something interesting where xterm dies.

(by the way, the geometry resource is over-broad, making the font-menu less than useful). I used xcfe4 for testing, on a virtual machine. My most recent snapshot (from 2022/11/01) didn't work - some problem with X and the window manaager), so I upgraded from 2022/10/29, to get a workable machine. Given that (I also have the terminus font installed), I used "xrdb -load" with these resources, and ran xterm from the Debian package.

Bug#699746: #699746 x11-utils: xprop assumes that WM_ICON_NAME and WM_NAME are encoded in ISO-8859-1
I was recently reminded of this one, and can see that it's no longer relevant: + The bug-report made incorrect assumptions about what xprop ought to be doing. So it's not relevant to xprop. + Cloos' comment about xterm was interesting but not useful for xterm, because the encoding as STRING rather than COMPOUND_STRING is done by the X Toolkit library. Reading the Shell.c file in libXt, arguably an application _could_ set the resources titleEncoding and iconNameEncoding while setting the title and icon-name, but even setting those to COMPOUND_STRING (which does _not_ hold UTF-8) wouldn'd make the server transmute those into EWMH names (which _does_ hold UTF-8). + Regarding xterm, my changes in patch #349 make it do by default what Vincent assumed. Patch #349 - 2019/09/22 * improve title-string feature: + if any of allowC1Printable, utf8Title or titleModes hint that an application might send a title-string encoded in UTF-8, check if that is the case, and if it is recodable into ISO-8859-1, use that for the ICCCM-style title. + check if the title given by a control sequence happens to be already encoded in UTF-8, to avoid double-encoding (FreeBSD #240393). + Make sameName resource work for the EWMH titles. + Modify menu-state of utf8Title to be consistent with the utf8 source, i.e., setting the EWMH properties automatically when UTF-8 is active. just for grins, I'll close this (expecting the usual response from Vincent). -- Thomas E.

Bug#904572: move x11-utils to Suggests
On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 10:06:46AM +0100, Harald Dunkel wrote: > Maybe the Recommends could be replaced by a Suggests: x11-utils. > By now I didn't even know that there is a tool "luit". It's used (when available and if the locale encoding is not UTF-8) by xterm for quite a while. But it doesn't use the X display (unlike the other programs in x11-utils). Moving it to a separate package would only affect xterm and a (probably) small number of direct command-line users. Changing the "recommends" to a "suggests" would have an impact on xterm, since some users would not see luit automatically. As I understand it, the best route would be to get luit available separately and then change the xterm package to recommend luit rather than x11-utils. By the way - the existing version of luit uses libfontenc, which _is_ used by several applications. Take a look at apt-rdepends --reverse libfontenc1 However, in my upgrade, I dispensed with that dependency, so the resulting luit depends only on glibc and libz. That makes it easily portable - unlike most of x11-utils :-) So... decoupling luit (and libfontenc1) from x11-utils will improve the dependencies of both xterm and x11-utils. -- Thomas E.

Sample: xterm actually should recommend luit, which is not yet a separate package see #1003130 and #1003770: https://mentors.debian.net/package/luit/ once that's completed, the xterm package should be changed to recommend luit (about 130kb for that package, no dependencies except that it might suggest the xfonts-encodings package). > There’re several ways to resolve the issue, one of which is > indeed to move luit into a package of its own, though I can’t > say I’m particularly fond of practices that lead to the > expansion of the Packages files, as well as /var/lib/dpkg/. that's unclear (there's only ~66 thousand packages so far) -- Thomas E.

Thanks for the explanation. In #327, xterm's wcwidth checked if the codes were combining characters (using a table), or control characters and (for example this case) matched it against some ranges of double-width characters. If it was none of those, it assumed single-width. Starting in #330, I added another table "unknowns" to account for codes which had no specific width: Patch #330 - 2017/06/20 * modify wcwidth.c to return -1 for non-Unicode values, and adjust a couple of blocks to better match assumptions about ambiguous-width characters in other implementations. Also modify wcwidth.c to support configurable soft-hyphen, so there is no drawback to using this version rather than a system wcwidth. -- Thomas E.

It is encoded in the Latin Extended-D block, which belongs to the Basic Multilingual Plane. It was added to Unicode in version 12.0 (March, 2019). It is HTML encoded as . xterm #344 is a little earlier than that. Its fallback copy of wcwidth doesn't list that range (I updated the table to Unicode 12 in #345, and added a test-driver around that time). The system wcwidth doesn't cover that range either.

Those are utilities -- but the window manager defaults to openbox.

I set up LXQT this morning, but none of the window managers which it offered
me as a choice were related to XFCE4, so I chose openbox. xterm seems to
run properly in that (see screenshot).

In your first comment, you mentioned "the few existing pixels blink". That makes it sound like the X server (since the contents of the window from xterm's point of view are generally static, unless programmed to blink using an escape sequence). If this had been simply a missing border, I'd ask about the window manager (noting that on a couple of machines, I see the gnome stuff overriding the resource-settings, while most window managers leave that alone). Then again (one of those was Fedora34, whose effect was apparent because it took about a second to _redraw_ the menu border), you might be using some version of gnome-session/-shell/-whatever, which has bugs in its attempt to redraw the border. If that's the case, trying a different window manager (xfce4 for instance) would show if the window manager is the appropriate place to go. (xterm has had its own problems with drawing, but so far this doesn't match any of the situations where I would assume xterm's at fault) -- Thomas E.

Xaw (e.g,. libxaw7:amd64) draws the menus, but uses X resources.
In a quick check (looking at the debugging trace), I suppose that
xterm's event-loop may handle exposure events for the menus(*), but
xterm doesn't know what's in the menus, in that level of detail.
It's possible that you have some font resource (such as a proportional
font) which confuses it, causing it to write outside its window.
But that would be apparent in xterm (thinking that a wildcard font
resource which affects one would affect both).
Given that, I'm expecting that the answer is that the X server
(for some less-used device) is not handling the window properly.
(*) the debugging trace shows me the window-id, but not the creator...

It's called a "dilemma" (in this case, a bug which I'm easily able to reproduce versus one that I'm not).

The descriptions for XWindowEvent and XCheckWindowEvent are very similar.

Just the window-decoration, or a line or so?
From the screenshot in your followup, I'm guessing the latter.

I'll try that. (Of course if it depends on video hardware, etc., that
won't succeed).
Looking at the changes for #361, there's the changes for wrap-mark,
and copy-wait. The latter was just this:
REV:1.859 util.c 2020/10/14 00:45:31 tom
tags:xterm-361a, xterm-361, xterm-360e
replace a call to XWindowEvent (which will block if there's no exposure
events) in CopyWait with a call to XCheckWindowEvent (which lets me bail
out on no more exposure events). That seems to fix a hang reported by
Dave Kemper when iconifying/deiconifying while blasting lots of characters
to an active icon. The XWindowEvent call dates back to 1991.

If you're going to compile it, the debug-trace can be useful (--enable-trace). If not, the -report-fonts option is helpful.

I've not noticed this (only use either of those when testing something). xterm doesn't color _inserted_ text, but only the _selected_ text. If the shell is (mis)using bracketed paste to temporarily paint colors on the screen, there's not much to be done using xterm's resources...

"should" makes a lot of assumptions. Where it falls short is that
(as far as I recall...) none of the systems' locale support can tell
an application that the width ought to be "fullwidth".
Attaching a quick demo using wcwidth -- running with all of the available
locales, it finds no occurrence of "fullwidth" line-drawing characters.

I was able to reproduce this using either strace or xtrace to slow things down. The underlying issue is an obliquely-documented(*) misfeature of the X11 library, for which I can make a suitable workaround. (*) I'd say "undocumented", but someone who reads the source code would argue that someone could _guess_ from the manual page what the code is actually doing :-) -- Thomas E.
