Bug#458432: xterm does not display Unicode glyphs beyond \uFFFF
I might have noticed this earlier, but was unfamiliar with fonts using codes past 0x. The oldest known script is sumerian cuneiform. I searched for free fonts and found George Douros fonts which were included in Debian after an wnpp. Fortunately the fonts use Unicode encoding which I prefer since I studied in Japan. According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_cuneiform) sumerian cuneiform are included since Unicode 5.0. but TrueType fonts use a different interface, which apparently does not have the same limitation (that's how xfd is able to display the font). Is it possibe to use this functionality in xterm? -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

Bug#458432: xterm does not display Unicode glyphs beyond \uFFFF
yes. TrueType fonts might not have this limitation, but bitmap fonts have only the XDrawString16 interface to write characters. xterm is translating codes outside 0-0x to the replacement character. (I should investigate this further - thanks for the reminder) Thank you for the answer!

Bug#438196: Bug #438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
Hi, as mentioned before I noticed some problems with xdm 1.1.5-1. An other problem was reported in bugreport #438200. Julien Cristau made very fast a new build (1:1.1.5-2). This resolved #438200. Unfortunately I did not check for #438196 so I noticed few minutes ago that it seams that the /var/run/xdm.pid problem disappeared. Markus -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Bug#438196: Bug #438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
There are very few changes in 1.1.5-2, so it's unlikely that the xdm.pid problem was fixed there. Did you reproduce the problem multiple times with 1.1.5-1? Or is it possible that it occurred only at the first restart (or only multiple times until you rebooted or so)? As a chemist I learned a magic word which is called reproducibility :-). I updated on wednesday and noticed the problem after booting on thursday morning. The problem persisted two reboots. After each boot /etc/init.d/xdm start was issued several times followed by stopping with pkill xdm and checking with ps. -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.

Package: xdm Version: 1:1.1.5-1 Severity: important It noticed some problems with xdm 1.1.5-1. One problem is that a start via /etc/init.d/xdm does not create the PIDFILE /var/run/xdm.pid.

Bug#438196: xdm does not create /var/run/xdm.pid
Hi, thanks for your immediate answer! We have multiple bug reports [1] about problems related to xdm startup/exit/pidfile, I guess we need to cleanup some mess here... I checked the bug reports #270393 == PIDFILE removal problem #343386 == PIDFILE removal problem, maybe permission problem #334461 == ? #372114 == accidental removal #382037 == no PIDFILE generated (?) #398917 == incompatible xdm locations It seems that every new release introduces new bugs! Fortunately I had few problems on my machine but I could understand that pkgsrc (NetBSD, DragonFly, ...) dropped the xdm package. I tested gdm and kdm as an alternative but I use icewm and so I consider xdm as the maximal acceptable overhead. Maybe is should return to startx :-( Markus -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
