(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kde Version: CVS 26092000 System: Solaris 2.7 / Sparc The current snapshot is causing xterm to start with a horrible font=20 spacing (I think it's using a helvetica font).=20 I have the option to use kde fonts and colours in non-kde apps disabled. It was behaving fine with earlier versions (like the day before=20 yesterday) and using xterm's fonts menu to pick a new font size reverts=20 it to a usable font. There is a work around namely: 1) Enable use of kde fonts in non-kde apps in kcontrol 2) Change the general font to a fixed font in kcontrol 3) Create an xterm (might not actually be needed but probably is) 4) Disable use of kde fonts in non-kde apps in kcontrol 5) Change the general font back to something usable. Sorry about setting this to package=3Dkde but I really don't know if it's= =20 in one of the libraries or kwin. ?????????

Next time submit it as package configure then I pick it up from there. I noticed this xterm spacing bug as well. I guess we need to add a good XDefaults file for xterm what we currently use is: xterm*background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND xterm*foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND xterm*Font: FIXED_FONT xterm.SimpleMenu*background: BACKGROUND xterm.SimpleMenu*foreground: FOREGROUND xterm.SimpleMenu*font: FONT It seems the FIXED_FONT entry is written wrong.
