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 ?

Just verified - at least I can confirm xterm eating memory fast, didn't dare to let it eat up all my swap space.
Please open a bug report for that.
It's getting even stranger. I only get 'xfd: no font to display' when starting xfd, but 'xfd -fn fixed' works. It doesn't seem to be size dependend, using -ibm-courier-bold-i-normal--17-120-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1 will have the same effect.
