Unsure why xterm no longer use correct font. I have to explicitly set the font for its by using -fn option, for example: xterm -fn fixed

Please find attached the screenshot of blank xterm (left) and correct xterm (right)

Please try uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments.

  I think this is a new bug with CDE 2.5.0. In the 2.4.x, the xterm would fall back to fixed (which is English) instead of some non-English font (which is not supported correctly with xterm).

    Have you tried latest git master? A fix went in a week or two ago that might address this.

    This is not a bug (although CDE has helpfully set some resources for xterm). The xterm uses fonts instead of font sets. CDE has no way to change the behavior of xterm.

      I don't have much understanding but the recent change has actually addressed this issue.

        Yes, it's a little bit complicated.
        Just use the latest commit.
