xterm crash with very large fonts

Hi list, is there a different hand ling of fonts inside xfd and xterm ? I need a LARGE font for demo system. with xfd i selected: -ibm-courier-bold-i-normal--250-1808-100-100-m-1500-iso8859-1 calling xterm -fn <fontname> causes a segfault (after eating memory). I have installed SUSE 10.0 vanilla. can someone verify my results, please ? re, walter my original error message: xterm -fn -ibm-courier-bold-i-normal--250-1808-100-100-m-1500-iso8859-1 _XF86BigfontQueryFont: could not attach shm segment Speicherzugriffsfehler (segfault)
