Bug#243598: xterm stops responding to window delete events after -e su logs in

2004-04-13 Thread Christopher Allen
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal

If I type 'xterm -e su', and then send the resulting window a delete
command using my window manager (twm, doing an f.delete), it will
disappear and xterm exits.  However, if I type in the root password
then attempting to delete the window has no effect.

If I type 'xterm', then type 'su' inside the new xterm, I can still
delete the window after I type the root password.

Bug#199111: xfs: Very ugly fonts

2003-06-27 Thread Christopher Allen
Package: xfs
Version: 4.2.1-6
Severity: normal


For some reason when I upgraded from some previous version of xfs[*],
and all the non-fixed-width fonts used by twm, mozilla, and pretty
much every other application I use (all non-gnome/kde) became horribly
ugly; it appeared that scalable fonts were being used (without any
anti-aliasing/sub-pixel rendering) when perfectly good bitmap fonts
were available.

I was able to correct this by editing
/etc/X11/fs/config and changing the catalogue line as follows:

catalogue = 
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/

I don't know if this is the correct solution, but my fonts all look
nice again.

curmudgeon
This is the first time I've had to fix my fonts in eight or so years
of using Debian.  It looks to me like the catalogue line was changed
to get anti-aliased scalable fonts working.  I don't have anything
against anti-aliased fonts per se, but they are of virtually no use to
me, so it is very annoying to have to spend an hour reading through
the debian-user archive to fix all my non-anti-aliased fonts!
/curmudgeon



[*] I don't know exactly which upgrade is the culprit, because I
didn't notice any problem until I rebooted my machine much later,
causing xfs to be restarted.
