This is a full X host running lxde for desktop The xterm I speak of is the real McCoy .. the one Thomas Dickey has maintained since mid to late 90s. In this case: x11-terms/xterm version 327 But I just noticed when pretend emerge just now to see what the use flags were... I see it defaults to -truetype use flag... which may be significant. I'm re-emerging with USE=truetype might make some difference. But still would not explain the fonts that are not true type failing to load. Do you know if some EXTRA_ECONF or something is needed to make xterm recognize its -fa switch? I've seen in several places that -fa font-name is used instead of -fn font-name Here xterm calls it a bad switch or something like and fails to load the font. xterm -fa "9x15B-ISO8859-1.pcf" xterm: bad command line option "-fa" xterm -fn "9x15B-ISO8859-1.pcf" xterm: cannot load font '9x15B-ISO8859-1.pcf' And without the quotes: xterm -fn 9x15B-ISO8859-1.pcf xterm: cannot load font '9x15B-ISO8859-1.pcf'
