Hi,
I seem to be doing something incorrectly.
When I run this command: xterm -bdc -cm -sb -sl 4096 -cr green -ms red -fn '-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso10646-1' -title '-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso10646-1' -e bash
I get this error message:
xterm: cannot load font "-Adobe-Courier-medium-O-*-*-14-100-100-100-M-180-ISO10646-1"
I got a list of fonts from the xlsfonts command so it seems to think this font IS installed. The FONTPATH shell variable is NOT set and neither is FontPath.
I would like to try out several of the other fonts that xlsfonts lists without updating config files. xlsfonts displayed 4210 fonts with duplicates for some reason.
Can anyone see what I'm not doing right? Is it a bug?
Thanks,
George...

But it still loads and works. xterm appears to be trying to find a Unicode version of the font you're telling it to use. I'm not sure what it's doing with that font since Unicode characters still don't work unless you specify that font directly.

I only get around 800 lines from xlsfonts, but I haven't installed lots of X fonts. What's an example of the duplicates you're seeing?
