So in my "~/.Xdefaults", I have tried: !XTerm*font: -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- XTerm*font: lucidatypewriter !XTerm*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1 full and sparse specification, but no matter, when I run xterm, I get: xterm: cannot load font '-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1' xterm: cannot load font '-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-' xterm: cannot load font '-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-' xterm: cannot load font 'lucidatypewriter-medium' xterm: cannot load font 'lucidatypewriter-medium' etc. How is this possible? xlsfonts displays the font(s), but an x-prog like xterm can't load any form Have tried neutering locale as well to no effect. (LC_ALL=C or POSIX)... Can't figure out why the font is listed but not loadable??! Ideas? Thanks!
