I have a situation where gnome console does not handle vt102 escape
sequences properly and therefor need to employ xterm instead. When
I run xterm from a gnome terminal window I am presented with an
extremely small terminal window employing an almost unreadably small
font.
I have attempted to set the font size using xrdb and a custom
.Xresources file. I can change the colour scheme. I can create a
scrollbar. I can move the scrollbar to either the right or left
window margin. What I cannot do is to change the font size.
When I do xfontsel I get this error: Warning: Missing charsets in
String to FontSet conversion and I see only four fonts listed in the
application window, all of them small and none with a point size of
greater than 12.0.!
If I do fc-cache -f -v I see 14+ font directories containing more
than 100 fonts
# fc-cache -f -v
/usr/share/fonts: caching, 0 fonts, 7 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts: caching, 31 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera: caching, 10 fonts, 0 dirs
. . .
fc-cache: succeeded
but I also see lots of this:
/var/cache/fontconfig: invalid cache file:
f93b699072f38b46be29013fc93f1bbe-x86.cache-2
/var/cache/fontconfig: invalid cache file:
7ddba6133ef499da58de5e8c586d3b75-x86.cache-2
I really need some help sorting this out. If someone could explain
to me what I am missing I would be most grateful.
