Jeremy,
Since I was able to duplicate John's issue on my PowerBook, I tried
your suggestion of downloading and compiling xterm to see if the
problem goes away. Did so (the version downloadable from the site you
included was 231, so that's what I built). I saw no obvious issues or
errors compiling, however, the tektronics pane in this new version
also shows the open squares instead of the expected font type.
If you want me to send you a screen shot from my PPC machine so you
can see what we're talking about, let me know.

I'm sorry John, I don't understand what you mean here. X.org
doesn't distribute xterm. It's distributed here:
http://invisible-island.net/xterm/
Version 229 is included with the version 2.1.3 package. It was
compiled with these options:
--prefix=/usr/X11 --mandir=/usr/X11/man --disable-dependency-
tracking --enable-wide-chars --enable-luit --enable-256-color --
enable-logging --enable-load-vt-fonts
What version are you using that works, and what options are used to
compile it? Looking at Macports, I see them using version 229 as
well, but they just use the default configure options. Can you try
compiling xterm yourself to find out what configure option is
causing the incompatibility with tek?

The tektronix (tek) mode in xterm in X.org distribution does not
work properly. All text in the tek window shows up as little open
squares.
On the other hand, the tek mode in xterm distributed via
darwinports works as expected.
