I'm running debian etch, and installed xfstt to use TT anti-aliased fonts in my emacs23.
I'm trying out urxvt (rxvt-unicode) in place of xterm. It seems to work OK, but when I use it to start mc (MidnightCommander), the urxvt terminal hangs. This prevents my starting xterm, another urxvt, or logging out or even reboot. I have to do a dirty shutdown. I assume the problem is a font issue. When I tried mc with plain rxvt, the line characters in mc were replaced by garbage charcters that seem to me to represent unknown characters (A-circumflex followed by two bytes). I'm running xfstt, but not xfstt: $ ps aux | grep xfs root 2897 0.0 0.0 2828 752 ? S 12:28 0:00 /usr/bin/xfstt --daemon --notcp root 3202 0.0 0.0 7444 632 ? S 12:29 0:00 /usr/bin/xfstt --daemon --notcp So my Type 1 fonts are being offered by the X server instead of xfs. I run the following command and it returns a lot of lines suggesting that TT but not Type 1 fonts are being served: $ fslsfonts -server unix/:7101 ... -msttcorefonts-courier new-bold-i-normal-bold -italic-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 -bitstream-bernhardmod bt-bold-i-normal-bold -italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -ttf-dejavu-dejavu sans mono-bold-i-normal-bold -oblique-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso885 ... When I do to see if Type 1 Courier is served: $ showfont -fn courier can't open server "localhost:7100" it shouldn't be trying to open port 7100 in debian, but 7101. When I do this, however, I may be getting Type 1: $ xlsfonts ... -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso10646-1 Does this mean Type 1 fonts are being served? Do I have to be running xfs for mc or urxvt to access Type 1 fonts? Can I run both xfs and xfstt together? The font being used by xterm and urxvt are a similar sans, but differ in size. However, the urxvt font does not look it is anti-aliased. Before installing urxvt I had installed plain rxvt. While it could start mc, it could not display the mc line characters, replacing them with two byte garbage characters. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
