The doc talks about installing DejaVu so one can have some fonts for xterm, however xterm builds without support for FreeType. I added "--with-freetype-config=freetype-config" to the configure which supplied the "freetype2" lib, but the "Xft" lib was not used, because of a confusion of configuration around this issue, which was very difficult to understand. I was unable to pass "--with-freetype-libs" with "-lXft" or with "no" or any other value successfully. Finally I edited the "configure" script and forced the "-lXft" value into an appropriate variable. Then xterm finally built with "-fa" option, and I was able to use DejaVu fonts. I believe some kind of modification to the doc to tell people how to actually make an xterm use DejaVu fonts is in order?
