All, I was cleaning up the default xterm look and feel with tweaks to ~/.Xresources. The primary goal was to get a good looking terminal to use in i3, etc.. as I'm having difficulty stomaching what kde has become -- meaning I'll have to do without my go-to konsole.
I have xterm to my liking with a very simple Xresources: xterm*termName: xterm-256color Xterm*saveLines: 4096 XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true xterm*VT100.geometry: 111x63 xterm*faceName: DejaVu Mono:size=8:antialias=false xterm*font: 7x13 XTerm*colorBDMode: true xterm*background: #131518 xterm*foreground: #eff0f1 XTerm*scrollBar: true XTerm*rightScrollBar: true The only problem is selecting 'unreadable' from the font menu results in a segfault. If I switch back to the 'fixed' bitmap font (e.g. turn true-type off), 'unreadable' works fine. I've tried setting 'XTerm*font1: fixed' and 'XTerm*font1: DejaVu Mono', etc. which prevents the segfault, but also makes 'unreadable' stay the same size as 'default'. Does anybody know how to make 'unreadable' work with a true-type selection? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
