Still, that's only a factor of 2-3 over where it is now - so you'd be downloading a megabyte.

Uploading, which is much worse than downloading because workstation up-links are asymmetric (for a good reason).

Using Xft doesn't affect that much, unless xterm is unable to find the bitmap fonts - in that case it relies only on "fixed".

or unless xterm ceases requesting them in the first place.

Thinking about _that_, I've already modified it to work with just Xft. Another configuration tweak would allow it to ignore bitmap fonts. Then you'd only have Xft to be concerned with.

I wish you every success in this undertaking :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
