Description dh_redhat 2000-10-25 01:35:20 UTC 
When using the 'fixed' font with xterm, the bold version of it is
unreadable.
Note that the same font setting (fixed, bold) in rxvt or gnome-terminal
looks correct.
Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2001-03-31 15:19:36 UTC 
Hmm.  Seems to look ok on my machine..  perhaps I'm not set up the same tho..

Can you provide me with the exact steps to duplicate the problem?
Comment 2 dh_redhat 2001-03-31 19:00:46 UTC 
I run 'xterm -fn fixed', my shell is 'zsh' with the prompt set as PS1='%B%n%b@%m
(%B%~%b%)%!%# ' The bold part of the prompt is unreadable when using xterm, but 
it is fine with rxvt.
Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2001-11-01 03:14:10 UTC 
I consider this a configuration problem rather than a bug.  If you
play around with font settings, you should be able to get it to
display.
