The package xorg-x11-fonts-core is indeed installed.

Did you check this on the machine where the Xserver is running - in case you run across the network?

I ran the "xlsfonts | grep ..." command over ssh, and it gave positive results then. Now I'm finally on the machine in question directly. In the meantime the machine had some installations, including that of xfd, and was rebooted. Let's see now the results of all the commands from a fresh uxterm; they are somewhat different (don't ask me why): [ user@host:~> sudo zypper info xorg-x11-fonts-core | egrep "(Version:)|(Installed:)" Version: 7.6-31.6 Installed: Yes user@host:~> xlsfonts | grep misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 user@host:~> xfd -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Cannot convert string "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1" to type FontStruct xfd: no font to display user@host:~> ] When you enter characters from another alphabet via keyboard (say, cyrillic) into the uxterm, you get a blank space pro character. That is, entering "йцукен" from the keyboard gives 6 spaces. However, you can select these spaces with a mouse and copy them elsewhere, say, into a gedit, where you do see the originally typed "йцукен". When you start a gnome konsole, you do see every cyrillic character that you enter in the konsole directly. If I can do some further debugging, please tell me so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

He insisted on having a pixel size of 13 (at that time; he might have changed his habits meanwhile). So the compromise was to use that best font with that aspect for uxterm, which the collegue doesn't use. So we still have xterm -> 13 pixel uxterm -> 18 pixel -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The front picked by the uxterm resources is a bit more complete, however according to ta test i just did, Cyrillic should be fine with xterm as well. The original issue seemed to have been a corrupt font file. Let's close this, now. If you still run into issues please reopen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
