Re: [cxterm-devel] fonts screwed up

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

As I previously say - there is no significant change between 5.2.2
and 5.2.3 (and CVS) other than fixing some compiler warnings.

There is a hell lot of difference between Redhat 6.2 and Redhat 9
regarding font management, just as the Xfree86 terminfo/termcap
problem I mentioned. Redhat 9 uses a separate font server, rather
than have static font directories like RH 6.2.

I suspect the RH 9 font server doesn't work all the time, or
reliably. You could go back to static font directories, or have
font directories in addition to font server, by modifying the
"FontPath" entries in /etc/X11/XF86Config. "man 5 XF86Config"
for details, I think.

Please note that cxterm is no longer in active development (the
sourceforge project is "unofficial" and the original authors
are not here)- it has worked almost as it was in 1995, so any
breakage is usually due to changes elsewhere...)
