| Subject | underscore in xterm sometimes invisible |
| Message-ID | <tCfvc-7cA-9@gated-at.bofh.it> |
When I completely log out and log back in, the underscore character will be invisible in xterm. If I do "xrdb .Xresources", subsequent xterms created will show underscores. Investigating further, I tried starting with no .Xresources file. This gave me a much-too-small xterm window. When I do "xrdb -merge .Xresources-foobar", which is my normal .Xresources file, I get my favored xterm settings EXCEPT that underscores are invisible. If I don't use the "-merge" flag, then that will cause subsequent xterms to show underscores. What's going on here? How can I fix it? Here's my .Xresources file: xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono :antialias=true xterm*faceSize: 12 XTerm*renderFont: true XTerm*utf8: 1 xterm*vt100.initialFont: 3 xterm*loginShell: true xterm*vt100*geometry: 80x24 xterm*saveLines: 2000 xterm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48 xterm*foreground: rgb:ee/ee/ee xterm*background: rgb:00/00/00 -- David Griffith dave@661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

This has been reported in bug #858142[1], but I have not been able to
reproduce it on my systems and I don't know what's going on.
Cheers,

I've been able to add some hopefully helpful information to that bug report, to wit, I think the problem may be with xrdb(1). -- David Griffith dave@661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
