Yes, I ignore all the legacy fonts (you might prefer to call them "traditional"). The faceSize setting definitely works [ 12 for me - if I was still using the legacy fonts I would be using the 100dpi not the 75dpi ].
So, it sounds as if xterm _does_ require the legacy fonts, but only for some glyphs. I think I moved to all-truetype before I changed to urxvt, but maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe I was mostly trying to use common W. European accents in those days. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
