Ok, i didn't see that part in the manpage. However, there is some behaviour which i don't understand: when i start xterm -fn 7x14, i get an xterm where bold fonts are clearly not generated by tracing the normal font, the bold font is clearly 7x14bold. Running xterm -fn 7x14 -fb 7x14bold gives me the exact same result. Maybe XTerm has some predefined corresponding bold fonts for standard fonts ? > So, for example, if someone starts xterm like this: > xterm -geometry 80x40 -sb +sk -si -sl 4096 -j -ls +lc -fn 7x14 > the following addition makes it look nicer: > xterm -geometry 80x40 -sb +sk -si -sl 4096 -j -ls +lc -fn 7x14 -fb 7x14bold So, these make no difference. cheers, Remko PS: I personally don't like the 7x14-7x14bold combination. The bold font is narrower (but bolder), and it looks like 2 different fonts in 1 terminal. I seem to prefer the 'generated' font. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
