I've tried many combinations of my fonts: lowercase mixed case, spaces, hyphes, underscores, etc... and it can never find the font. For example: $ xterm -fn Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono xterm: unable to open font "Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono", trying "fixed" Where can I find the font list that xterm is checking? Thanks!! -- Michael A.
