Can you try narrowing down the configure flag that triggers the issue? I'm unfortunately not going to have much time this weekend to work on X.

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.

Merle

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.
