Package: xterm
Version: 232-1
Severity: normal
If I invoke the application with
uxterm -fa monospace -fs 12 -bg black -fg white
the settings match those provided by gnome-terminal by default.
Yet (u)xterm doesn't display some characters properly. Sometimes (with
fonts such as monospace) it at least hints at them being there by drawing
boxes, but with the Debian-provided default font and some other fonts it only
draws spaces. This affects for example the following greek letters:
'ΩϡϿ'
With monospace the omega (Ω) is shown correctly, but the other two are
not. The same characters work fine in gnome-terminal.

Closes: 359006408666683942691642694375
Changes:
xterm (287-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release (closes: #694375)
- add alternateScroll resource and corresponding control sequences which
modify the scroll-forw and scroll-back actions: when the alternate
screen is displayed, wheel mouse up/down will send cursor keys (closes:
#683942)
- improve rendering for the case when a Unicode character is absent in the
bold font but present in the normal font by temporarily falling back to
the normal font (closes: #359006, #408666)
- check for misconfigured printerCommand resource on the first use, warn
and disable it if it does not specify an executable command (closes:
#691642)
* Drop upstream patches.
* Refresh remaining patches.
* Explicitly set --with-desktop-category to avoid desktop-file-install
failure.
* Enable backarrowKeyIsErase in configure instead of 900_debian_xterm.diff.
* Install png/svg icons.
* Change xterm.man's NAME section to keep whatis(1) happy.
