RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Thanks all. I finally solved the mystery. It could be that I might have an old xterm and there is wrong setting in my .Xdefaults that I set termName to vt100. Cheers.

RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Hi. The original xterm did not support colour. Some operating systems still ship with this version. e.g. Solaris 2.6 has the non-colour version. The version of xterm that comes with recent versions of xf-86 should. Try "xterm -version". On xf-86/cygwin (where colour works) I get "XFree86 4.2.0(165)". On Solaris 2.6 (no coloru) I get "xterm: bad command line option "-version"". - Ben Kelley. >-Original Message- >From: Haibing Ma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, 14 March 2003 12:37 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts > > >Thanks for your reply. > >I checked /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, it looks fine to me.

RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Thanks for your reply. I checked /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, it looks fine to me. I also tried /usr/bin/ls --color=always, it shows no color in xterm. I tried rxvt, it works fine. Any other clue? I think rxvt is fine with me, the only problem is that the HOME key doesn't work.

Re: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Thanks for your reply. I tried rxvt, and it shows colors just as I want. (I'm using emacs21.2 delivered by cygwin.) Something wrong with xterm? By the way, I'm using Win2000.

RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Hi. xterm normally picks up its colour definitions from its X resources. Normally on xf86/cygwin this would be the file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. I guess it is also worth checking that the application you are using to try to display coloured text is actually sending the correct escape sequences to xterm. e.g. /usr/bin/ls --color=always - Ben Kelley. >-Original Message- >From: Andrew Markebo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, 14 March 2003 08:35 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: xterm shows no color for color fonts > > >/ Haibing Ma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >| When I opened vi or emacs-nox, it shows bold fonts and >underlines, but >| it doesn't show colors.

xterm shows no color for color fonts
When I opened vi or emacs-nox, it shows bold fonts and underlines, but it doesn't show colors. All characters are in my foreground color. I set xterm*VT100*colorMode: true. I even tried +cm option, it doesn't work either. Did miss anything? Thanks. Haibing __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - establish your business online http://webhosting.yahoo.com
