This is almost certainly a server bug -- xditview uses XDrawText to space the individual letters correctly on the screen, without using separate requests. I've seen many servers do this incorrectly, so xditview has a way of working around this server bug, by setting the noPolyText resource to TRUE: *noPolyText: true See if this solves the problem.
