Package: tk8.6
Version: 8.6.0~b1-2
Severity: important
Fonts can now be specified in additional formats. E.g., I can set the X resource
*font: "DejaVu Sans Mono" 7
and this works with tk8.6-apps. But it breaks legacy apps:
$ xterm
xterm: cannot load font "DejaVu Sans Mono" 7
$ emacs
Font `"DejaVu Sans Mono" 7' is not defined
They expect an XLFD in the font resource. It is thus not possible to specify an
Xft default font. Each application would have to be configured separately.
The solution IMO is to indroduce new variables for the new font specifications,
just like xterm did when it gained Xft support (XTerm*faceName, XTerm*faceSize).
