The xterm documentation states that if a bold font is not provided then overstriking will be used. This is not true. The problem is that a default bold font is "provided" by the C code. In order to get overstruck bold, you have to "un-provide" this font by putting something like xterm*boldFont: in your X resources. This patch fixes the problem: *** /X/mit/clients/xterm/main.h Mon Jan 8 18:40:14 1990 --- main.h Fri Sep 14 16:58:57 1990 *************** *** 30,36 **** /* @(#)main.h\tX10/6.6\t11/10/86 */ ! #define DEFBOLDFONT "fixed" #define DEFBORDER 2 #define DEFBORDERWIDTH 2 #define DEFFONT "fixed" --- 30,36 ---- /* @(#)main.h\tX10/6.6\t11/10/86 */ ! #define DEFBOLDFONT NULL #define DEFBORDER 2 #define DEFBORDERWIDTH 2 #define DEFFONT "fixed" -- Robert Potter (rpotter@grip.cis.upenn.edu) a.k.a (potter@cs.rochester.edu)
