Do you have installed the xorg-x11-fonts-misc package? Yes: -> rpm -q xorg-x11-fonts-misc xterm xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-18.fc27.noarch xterm-330-3.fc27.x86_64 -> xterm xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-13-120-75-75-C-120-ISO10646-1" I have the same problem: $ xterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1" xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-medium-R-*-*-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1" xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-*-*-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1" $ xlsfonts -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 This happened after upgrade from 26->27 xterm-330-3.fc27.x86_64 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-18.fc27.noarch One can work around this via specifying a true type font, e.g.:
xterm -fa mono:size=9
Or via setting the corresponding Xresource:
XTerm.VT100.faceName: mono:size=9
Perhaps something like this would also be a good system default.
Why? I like my xterm font. It exists, xterm is loading the font but it produces the errors above It seems this was fixed in xterm-331. When I start xterm with "-fn fixed", xterm-330 prints the message, but xterm-331 does not. I'm not sure if this is just a spurious error message or something is rendered differently.

Fedora 27 seems to be stuck with xterm 330 as of now... would be good for them to add next version to the updates. xterm-331-1.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-288350c8c6 almost same problem, however 2 less errors xterm-331-1.fc27.x86_64 $ xterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-medium-R-*-*-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1" $ xlsfonts -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 xterm-331-1.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-288350c8c6 As of 20180613, under fc27, this problem still persists. I just ran an update, so that testing update has not migrated to the released repository. Not sure how long it takes to migrate from testing to released, but thought I would contribute this. The update is still in the testing repository, because there was no feedback. If you install the update, does it fix the bug for you? (In reply to Miroslav Lichvar from comment #12) > The update is still in the testing repository, because there was no > feedback. If you install the update, does it fix the bug for you? Can in install a package just from the testing repo, without updating my whole install to "testing" I might need a bit of hand holding here, but I am willing to contribute to the infrastructure I have learned so much from. (In reply to eckirchn from comment #13) > Can in install a package just from the testing repo, without updating my > whole install to "testing" Yes, you can. For example like this: dnf --refresh --enablerepo=updates-testing update xterm xterm-331-1.fc27.x86_64 works for me. Thanks! $ xterm -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 xterm: cannot load font "-Misc-Fixed-medium-R-*-*-20-200-75-75-C-200-ISO10646-1" $ xlsfonts -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 $ rpm -q xterm xterm-331-1.fc27.x86_64 (In reply to Georg Sauthoff from comment #14) > (In reply to eckirchn from comment #13) > > > Can in install a package just from the testing repo, without updating my > > whole install to "testing" > > Yes, you can. For example like this: > > dnf --refresh --enablerepo=updates-testing update xterm Confirmed, "dnf --refresh --enablerepo=updates-testing update xterm" solved the issue. Thank you. xterm-331-1.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
