toward international, national language support in X windows. MIT11.3 and 11.4 distribute a large number of 8 bit fonts conforming to the ISO IS8859/1 LATIN1 standard (upper half filled with European language symbols). MIT11.4 xterm still does not support variable pitch fonts. All the ISO LATIN1 fonts in 11.4 are variable pitch. My question is has anyone solved this problem? Is there a source for fixed pitch ISO LATIN1 fonts? Is there a better xterm that works with variable pitch fonts? Thanks in advance for information on this.

All the ISO LATIN1 fonts in 11.4 are variable pitch. There are lots of fixed-pitch Latin-1 fonts in R4. Adobe Courier, B&H Lucida Typewriter, Bitstream Terminal, DEC Terminal, Schumacher Clean, Sony Fixed.

Adobe's Courier and Bitstream's Terminal fonts are ISO 8859-1 encoded,
fixed width and have been around since at least X11R3.
