I have to look up the fontname at home. (perhaps you mean de_DE.ISO8859-15 - 8849 refers to something else). ok - but bear in mind that there are different fonts used for uxterm. Generally xterm (not in UTF-8 mode) uses the ISO-8859-x fonts, and uxterm uses the ISO-10646-x fonts. That's for the bitmap fonts of course. Aside from users setting resoures that inadvertantly pick up one when the other is meant, I don't recall problems with those. For TrueType - that's different (I use configurations that other people setup). I understand from observation and reading reports that if they're not setup properly, in some cases their sizes do not work properly. -- Thomas E.
