includes <code>utmp.h</code>. - - <li>revert part of recent XFree86 Imakefile change, restoring the - <code>-I.</code> needed for <code>xmkmf</code> builds of xterm - (XFree86 Bugzilla #1633, reports by Alexander Pohoyda and Matthieu - Herrb). - - <li>change compiled-in default for <code>printerCommand</code> - resource to an empty string. People who want to use the - printer should be able to read the manual (Debian #311490). - - <li>modify <code>Imakefile</code> to work around old problems in - <code>imake</code> configuration to allow test-builds using - <code>xmkmf</code> on Linux. (This was not noticed since several - releases had broken definitions relating to Xft which were harder - to work around). - - <li>link <code>resize</code> for SCO platforms (Kean Johnston). -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_206">Patch #206 - 2005/11/3 - XFree86 4.5.99.15</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>add configure <code>--with-app-defaults</code> option to allow - app-defaults directory for install-rules to be customized. - - <li>remove default translations for <code>dabbrev-expand()</code> - due to conflicts with existing keyboard arrangements. - - <li>remove redundant check for <code>_NET_WM_PID</code> - (report by Emanuele Giaquinta). - - <li>set icon border width explicitly to work around fvwm problem - with active icon resizing (report by Steve Morris, analysis - by Dominik Vogt). - - <li>modify resource files to make the font-resources a little - more specific, e.g., changing "*VT100*" to "*VT100.", to - make the distinction between VT100.font and VT100.utf8Fonts.font - sharper, in case a packager modifies one of those. - - <li>expanded comments in <code>UXTerm.ad</code> regarding the - font resources (Debian #319179). - - <li>add <code>--enable-narrowproto</code> configure option to - accommodate Xorg "modular" build (report by Stephan Hermann, - GenToo #17220). - - <li>fix typo in xterm.man description of <code>+wf</code> (patch - by Tobias Stoeckmann). - - <li>add <code>scrollBarBorder</code> resource (request by Floyd L - Davidson). - - <li>modify <code>xterm-new</code> terminfo entry to use capabilities - for shifted scroll forward/reverse as shifted cursor up/down. - - <li>correct updating of checkmark for toolbar entry in popup menu - (report by Emanuele Giaquinta). - - <li>fix ifdef's to allow compiling with toolbar and without tek4014 - (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta). - - <li>use <code>openpty()</code> for Darwin port (patch by Emanuele - Giaquinta). - - <li>fix GenToo #90697 a different way, postponing the logic in - <code>SetupToolbar</code> until the toolbar is actually needed, - i.e., the <code>+tb</code> option is handled as expected. - - <li>revert fix made in <a href="#xterm_203">patch #203</a> for GenToo - #90697.

The code to support this was - present since X11R5, but not used because the corresponding - initial state of the <code>-132</code> option was not saved. - - <li>restore window manager hints after <code>XtMakeResizeRequest()</code> - calls. One instance from <a href="#xterm_205">patch #205</a> - resulted in the window manager displaying pixels rather than - than characters after selecting a different font size (FreeBSD - ports/87424). - - <li>remove special case for Darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE - (Emanuele Giaquinta). - - <li>modify parsing of control sequence <code>CSI T</code> - to allow scroll-down - to be sent while mouse tracking is enabled (request by - D Hugh Redelmeier). - - <li>correct termcap "me" (mode-end) string so it does not modify the - alternate character set (report by Andrey Chernov). - - <li>correct size-comparison in HandleInterpret() broken in changes - from <a href="#xterm_201">patch #201</a> to allocate input - buffer (Debian #334317). - - <li>amend adjustments for scrollbar layout from - <a href="#xterm_204">patch #204</a> to make - this apply only to the toolbar configuration.

Reed). - - <li>patches from Emanuele Giaquinta: - <ul> - <li>ctlseqs.ms says that primary and secondary DA accept a - nonzero parameter, which is incorrect. Also modify code - to agree with this. - - <li>correct a comment in 88colres.pl - - <li>ctlseqs.ms says that the DEC Set/Reset control sequences for - the backarrow key make it send DEL/BS, respectively, while it's - the opposite. - - <li>update the menu entries for the metaSendsEscape, deleteIsDEL - and numLock resources when changing them with the corresponding - DEC Set/Reset control sequences. - </ul> - - <li>fixes for configure script: - <ul> - <li>add special case for QNX, defining _QNX_SOURCE. - <li>check for preprocessors which do not perform -U and -D options - in the given order. - <li>improve macro to determine gcc version - <li>improve check for Intel compiler and related warning options - </ul> - - <li>update config.guess, config.sub - - <li>improve fix from <a href="#xterm_198">patch #198</a> for - <code>Cleanup()</code> by ensuring it is not called from the - SIGCHLD handler (patch from OpenBSD by Todd Miller). - - <li>eliminate a retry for a better-matching bold font, to work around - recent font server changes. - - <li>fixes for Novell #113277: - <ul> - <li>specify weight for wide font which may be derived from - normal fontname. - <li>cache the derived wide- and widebolt-fontnames. - </ul> - - <li>workaround for GenToo Bugzilla #100728. - - <li>add menubar's border width to layout computation. Normally this - is zero, but patterns such as <code>XTerm*borderWidth:1</code> - would give poor layout for the toolbar configuration. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_204">Patch #204 - 2005/8/4 - XFree86 4.5.99.9</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>work around quirk in shell which allowed user to "run" uxterm - script when there was no UTF-8 locale installed by entering - "sh -x uxterm". Also popup an xmessage to show the problem - for users who run this via a GUI (Debian #318513). - - <li>disallow changes to fonts, toolbar and scrollbar when the vt100 - window is iconified, to simplify management of the active icon. - - <li>fixes to make <code>-geom</code> option work properly with the - toolbar configuration (Gentoo Bugzilla #90717, #91967). - - <li>minor improvements to scrollbar layout: ensure that the scrollbar - border is zero if the vt100 border is zero. - - <li>improve initialization due to <code>utf8</code> resource by - loading the <code>utf8Fonts</code> resource in the case where - <code>locale</code> resource is false. Also in this case, do - not disable switching UTF-8 mode on/off. - - <li>minor optimization of TrueType font-loading, loads italic font - only when needed. - - <li>correct variable used to store temporary result from lookup of bold - font, when initializing the wide-bold-font data and no immediate - match is found by asking for a bold variant of the wide-font. The - result was to use overstriking rather than the actual bold font - (Debian #318162, patch by Eugene Konev). - - <li>add checks to ensure vt100 widget is realized when it might be - updated via actions handled from a tek4014-only configuration. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_203">Patch #203 - 2005/7/6 - XFree86 4.5.99.7</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>modify initialization of <code>allowSendEvents</code> and - <code>allowWindowOps</code> to prevent modification with the - editres protocol. - - <li>fix compiler warning for NetBSD by including util.h in main.c - (XFree86 Bugzilla #1596). - - <li>fix to build on Darwin 8.x, which no longer provides - <code>setpgrp()</code> (patch by Min Sik Kim). - - <li>adapted fixes for Legend (SCO) from diffs attached to - Freedesktop.Org Bugzilla #3180. - - <li>fix typo in xterm manpage description of <code>-ls</code> option - (Freedesktop.Org Bugzilla #3543). - - <li>add support for interpreting the underline attribute as an italic - font in Xft mode (patch by Chuck Blake). - - <li>improve initialization of toolbar so that individual pulldown - menus are initialized on demand, as they are in the scenario - where they are invoked as popup menus (GenToo Bugzilla #90697). - - <li>fix logic in <code>find_utmp</code>, which did not reset result - in <code>getutid()</code>, causing an infinite loop in some - conditions (report by Emil Mikulic). - - <li>set the <code>_NET_WM_PID</code> property (GenToo Bugzilla #91008). - - <li>modify ifdef's in ptyx.h and xterm_io.h to build with DragonFly - (patch by Jeroen Ruigrok). - - <li>change default values for <code>minBufSize</code> and - <code>maxBufSize</code> to 4096 and 32768 respectively so that the - initial read request will match the value from before changes to - use <code>sched_yield()</code>. - - <li>make paste of UTF-8 faster for Western character sets by checking - range of incoming data (patch by Joe Allen). - - <li>adapted patch by Joe Allen to add experimental option to allow - applications to get or set the selection data. - - <li>fix an off-by-one error parsing <code>-S/nn</code> option - (Debian #311438, report/fix by Peter Chubb). - - <li>fix an initialization bug from - <a href="#xterm_201">patch #201</a> that broke logging - (report by Rodney Thayer). - - <li>amend change to command-line processing in - <a href="#xterm_201">patch #201</a> to avoid - conflict with <code>-e</code> option (report by Servatius Brandt). - - <li>suppress configure check for <code>_XOPEN_SOURCE</code> on - darwin. - - <li>update config.guess, config.sub -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_202">Patch #202 - 2005/5/2 - XFree86 4.5.99.3</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>add extended shift- and control-modifier cursor keys to - "xterm+pcfkeys" terminfo entry to correspond to ncurses 20050430 - patch. - - <li>fix a rare case where text would be written with the wrong colors - because output of scrolled text would reset the colors and the - new text would be written with the same colors (report/testcase - by Thomas Glanzmann). - - <li>rename <code>$CMD</code> variable in <code>plink.sh</code> because - it is a reserved symbol in bash 3.00.16 (report by Ted Taylor). - - <li>add environment variables $XTERM_SHELL and $XTERM_VERSION - (request by Zdenek Sekera). - - <li>corrected workaround for background color of menubar, which gave - a too-broad expression, coloring the background of the VT100 - widget unless overridden by another resource setting. - - <li>correct an error in the logic which decides when - <code>sched_yield()</code> is run; it would occasionally hang when - contending with other pseudo-terminal applications such as screen - (report by Kirill Ponomarew). - - <li>modify initialization to decide whether to default to built-in - <code>wcwidth()</code> versus system's version based on the - starting locale and whether the system's version is poor quality - (suggested by Bram Moolenaar). - - <li>update table for <code>mk_width()</code> from UnicodeData 4.1.0 - using Markus Kuhn's <code>uniset</code> script. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_201">Patch #201 - 2005/4/21 - XFree86 4.5.99.2</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>improve resource files to show how the menubar and popup menus can - be colored (prompted by report by Joe Wells). - - <li>modify parsing of OSC (and SOS, etc), strings so their contents - are not interpreted as UTF-8.

"Root" preedit - type is easy to implement but not useful; "OnTheSpot" preedit - type is the best in the point of view of user interface but - very complex. And more, "OverTheSpot" is the preedit type - which the most XIM servers support. Thus, to achieve reasonable - usability, support of "OverTheSpot" preedit type is needed. - - <li>In "OverTheSpot" preedit type, the preedit (preconversion) - string is displayed at the position of the cursor. On the - other hand, it is XIM server's responsibility to display - the preedit string. Thus, it is needed for XIM client (here - XTerm) to inform the XIM server of the cursor position. - And more, to achieve good visual proportion, preedit string - must be written using proper font. Thus, it is XIM client's - responsibility to inform the XIM server of the proper font. - The font must be supplied by "fontset". Fontset is a set of - fonts with charsets which are specified by the current locale. - Since XTerm uses ISO10646 fonts regardless of the current locale, - the fonts for XIM must be prepared separately. It is difficult - to prepare fonts which are similar to XTerm font. Thus, my - patch uses a simple way - the default font is "*" which matches - every fonts and X library will automatically choose fonts with - proper charsets. I added "-fx" command option and "ximFont" - resource to override this default font setting. - - <li>changed the definition of "OverTheSpot" preedit type - from XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusArea - to XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusNothing. - This matches the behavior of other programs such as - Rxvt, Kterm, Gedit. - - <li>A tiny XIM bugfix is also included. By calling XSetLocaleModifiers() - with parameter of "", it can consier XMODIFIERS environmental - variable which is a standard way for users to specify XIM server - to be used. - </ul> - - <li>adjust configure script to accommodate repackaging of keysym2ucs.c - as include-file for xutf8.c (patch by Tomohiro KUBOTA - <kubota@debian.org>). - - <li>add the <code>UXTerm</code> app-defaults file to makefile install - rules (request by Juliusz Chroboczek). - - <li>correct logic in <code>get_termcap()</code>, which returned false - if the <code>tgetent()</code> call indicated that xterm was linked - with terminfo. Although the <code>$TERMCAP</code> variable cannot be - adjusted in this case, xterm still needs information from this call - to extract data to initialize the erase-mode when the - <code>ptyInitialErase</code> resource is false. - - <li>modify <code>ScrollbarReverseVideo()</code> function to cache the - original border color, so it can restore that when an application - flashes the screen (Bugzilla #38872). - - <li>resync with XFree86 CVS: - <ul> - <li>remove ifdef's for X_NOT_STDC_ENV (David Dawes). - <li>add Cygwin to special errno handling case in ptydata.c (Alan Hourihane) - <li>set screen size earlier in initialization, to address a race - with window manager resizing its clients (Keith Packard). - </ul> -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_157">Patch #157 - 2001/6/18 - XFree86 4.1.0</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>patch by Juliusz Chroboczek to clean up button.c and input.c. The - basic idea is to use a single set of APIs in the XTerm core, and put - a set of workarounds in a separate file. As you will notice, this - drastically simplifies parts of the code; in particular, the only - remaining ifdefs related to the differences between Xutf8 and legacy - systems are related to the selection provider logic. - - This defines two new files, xutf8.h and xutf8.c, provide some - half-hearted but fully portable emulation for the three Xutf8* - functions that XTerm uses. - - Putting these in a separate file will allow people to experiment with - more complex versions without making the core of XTerm more difficult - to maintain. - - The functionality of the emulation is as follows. - <ul> - <li>Xutf8TextListToTextProperty fully handles XStringstyle and - XUTF8StringStyle. It will only generate STRING for XStdICCTextStyle, - and wil only generate Latin-1 in XCompoundTextStyle (but label it as - COMPOUND_TEXT, as the spec requires). (I have hesitated to make this - function fail for XStdICCTextStyle and XCompoundTextStyle; this might - be a smart thing to do, in the hope that the selection requestor will - try UTF8_STRING afterwards; opinions?) - - <li>Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList fully handles STRING and UTF8_STRING. - It systematically fails for COMPOUND_TEXT. - - <li>Xutf8LookupString will properly handle single-keystroke input for - the keysyms covered by Markus' keysym2ucs function.

There was little use for Foreground as a - class other than to create occasional confusion and bug reports, most - recently by Nelson Beebe who reports that it disables colors in xterm - but not on Linux, which is probably due to a difference in resource - evaluation order. A configure script option (--disable-color-class) - is provided for anyone who did use the older behavior. - - <li>fix a signal-handling bug. When running xterm with - <code>ksh</code> or similar shell such as bash 2.05, xterm will hang - and not respond to keystrokes after the user types - <code>suspend</code>. Additionally the popup menus do not respond, - so it is not possible to send SIGCONT to the shell. - What is happening is that the shell is sending itself SIGSTOP, and it - is being stopped. Per specification it also means that the operating - system is sending SIGCHLD to parent to the bash (XTERM). - Now the issue is that xterm assumes it cannot happen and it expects - to receive SIGCHLD only upon <em>termination</em> of its children. - This causes a deadlock with xterm waiting for the child to - die, and the child waiting for SIGCONT. - (report/patch by Adam Sulmicki), analysis/testing by Sven Mascheck - <sven.mascheck@student.uni-ulm.de>). - - <li>correct some inconsistent checks for <code>XtReleaseGC()</code> - calls in <code>xtermLoadFont()</code> (patch by Nam SungHyun - <namsh@lge.com>). - - <li>updated wcwidth.c and keysym2ucs.c to versions dated 2001/1/12 - and 2001/4/18, respectively from - http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/ - - <li>correction to change from <a href="#xterm_90">patch #90</a>, - which was intended to - reset the saved cursor position for normal/alternate screens - on a soft reset, but actually wiped out all of the saved cursor - information.

From his description: - <ul> - <li>When compiled against XFree86 4.0.2, the patched XTerm will make - the selection available as COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING or UTF8_STRING in - both modes. It will request selections in the following order: - <p> - UTF-8 mode: UTF8_STRING, TEXT, COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING.<br> - eight-bit mode: TEXT, COMPOUND_TEXT, UTF8_STRING, STRING. - - <li>When compiled against an earlier version of XFree86 (or compiled with - OPT_UTF8_API=0), it will still obey the ICCCM, but will neither - request nor provide UTF8_STRING in eight-bit mode, and neither TEXT - nor COMPOUND_TEXT in UTF-8 mode. - <li>For compatibility with previous versions of XTerm, a resource - <code>i18nSelections</code> is provided, please see the manpage for - details. However, due to an unexpected combination of ICCCM - extensions by various bits and pieces of the libraries, interacting - with previous versions of XTerm will work in many locales even - without this flag. (Please do not set this resource to true by - default, as this would violate the ICCCM.) - </ul> - - <li>improved error checking/reporting in VTInitI18N(), ensuring that - lack of input method styles is treated distinctly from a mismatch. - - <li>remove an incorrect ifdef from patch #141 which suppressed - overstriking to simulate bold font when xterm was compiled to support - wide characters (report/analysis by Adam M Costello - <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, fixes Debian bugs #76404, #77575). - - <li>modify <code>RequestResize()</code> function to save/restore window - manager hints. Its call to <code>XtMakeResizeRequest()</code> had - the undesirable side-effect of clearing window manager hints, e.g., - when switching to 132-columns via DECCOLM escape sequence. Window - manager hints make it simple to resize xterm in terms of character - cells rather than pixels (reported by Christian Weisgerber as well - as Debian bug #79939). - <p> - This applies to the normal configuration. When built with toolbar - support, the hints are applied to a different widget level (more - work will be needed to make hints work with the toolbar). - - <li>fix a redefinition warning for resize.c on OpenBSD (patch by - Christian Weisgerber). - - <li>change resource corresponding to <code>-T</code> option to match - Xt library's <code>-title</code>, i.e., <code>.title</code> - rather than <code>*title</code> so the command-line options are - interchangeable as documented (Debian bug report #68843). - - <li>add script used from autoconf'd makefile for installing manpages, - since recent XFree86 changing the way section numbers are represented - makes the install dependent on extra scripts. - - <li>add configure check for freetype libraries and configure option - --disable-freetype to override this feature. - - <li>modify some configure script macros to avoid using changequote(), - which has been rendered useless in the latest autoconf alpha 2.49c - - <li>update config.guess, config.sub to 2001-2-13 - - <li>remove redundant/contradictory __CYGWIN__ definitions from resize.c - - <li>correct manpage typo introduced by X11R6.5 resync. -</ul> - Changes from XFree86 4.0.2: -<ul> - <li>add definition of <code>_POSIX_C_SOURCE</code> for Solaris to - make this compile with <code>gcc -ansi -pedantic</code> (report - by <mark@zang.com>. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_150">Patch #150 - 2000/12/29 - XFree86 4.0.2</A></H1> -<ul> - <li>move the binding for shifted keypad plus/minus, which invokes the - <code>larger-vt-font()</code> and <code>smaller-vt-font()</code> - actions, respectively, into the translations resource (suggested by - Marius Gedminas <mgedmin@puni.osf.lt>). - - <li>modify configure script to support the - <code>--program-prefix</code>, <code>--program-suffix</code> and - <code>--program-transform-name</code> options (request by Alison - Winters <alison@mirrabooka.com>). - - <li>patch from Robert Brady - <ul> - <li>fix a scrolling / combining characters display anomaly - - <li>fix a problem with double-width characters where if the primary - font had no box-drawing characters, the right hand half of - double-width characters was erased (reported by Yao Zhang - <yzhang@sharemedia.com>). - - <li>fix special case of null byte for key handling in UTF-8 locales. - </ul> - - <li>modify logic that compares sizes of normal and bold fonts to be - more forgiving of the font server's choice of bold font which must - match the normal font's size. Now <code>same_font_size()</code> - compares the height of the fonts rather than individually ascent and - descent, and allows the bold font to be one pixel smaller than the - normal font (addresses a report by Alan Citterman - <alan@mticket.com>, who says that something in patches #146 to - #148 made xterm more likely to overstrike bold fonts, and indirectly - Debian bug report #76404, which reports the opposite). - - <li>make configure script use $CFLAGS and $CPPFLAGS consistently, - including removing a chunk from configure.in which attempted to - save/restore $CPPFLAGS while processing value set by the --x-includes - option, but lost values set in an intervening AC_CHECK_HEADERS.

But I implemented that last. - -<ul> - <li>If any of the glyphs in positions 0-31 (used by xterm to implement - the VT100 alternate character set) are zero-sized (i.e., missing), - xterm will reserve a normal space for the glyph when drawing. I - implemented a simple stroke-drawing function to draw the line-drawing - characters and a couple of the other (simpler) characters such as - diamond. (This was suggested by Vikas Agnihotri). - - <li>Modify the computation of doublesize characters to work around font - servers which shift the scaled characters up/down or do not give the - correct width. - - <li>Add popup menu item and corresponding resource settings to disable - the font-scaling logic for doublesize characters to work around - (older) font servers which simply do not draw the fonts scaled to the - size that they said they would. I see this problem on a SunOS system - running X11R5; the X11R6 servers seem well behaved. - - <li>Implement new escape sequence, private mode 1049, which combines - the switch to/from alternate screen mode with screen clearing and - cursor save/restore. Unlike the existing escape sequence, this - clears the alternate screen when switching to it rather than when - switching to the normal screen, thus retaining the alternate screen - contents for select/paste operations. - - <p>When I implemented the popup menu entry to toggle between the normal - and alternate screens, I considered only pasting from the normal - screen to the alternate; this improvement allows either direction. - - <li>Changed the termcap and terminfo for xterm-xfree86 and xterm-8bit - to use the new 1049 private mode. - - <li>Modify the logic which switches between normal and alternate - screens so that the save/restore cursor operations apply only to the - current screen. That means that applications which use the terminfo - smcur/rmcur or termcap ti/te capabilities will restore the cursor to - the original position on the normal screen rather than to the most - recent place where a save-cursor operation was performed. - - <p>I note that a real VT100 terminal would not behave in this way, - but it is a moot point since the VT100 does not implement alternate - screen, and therefore the save/restore cursor sequence would not be - used in this context. I reviewed the logic which switches between - normal and alternate screens based on some recent newsgroup postings - as well as a proposed patch in the Debian group which attempts to - do this (the patch has a bug, however, so I did not use it). - - <li>Add popup menu entry for toggling the titeInhibit resource. - - <li>Add new resource answerbackString, which overrides the default - "xterm" returned by xterm when responding to an ENQ (control/E) - character (request by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran <rv@fore.com>). - - <li>Add new resource keyboardDialect for setting the NRC display - character set (request by Tomas Vanhala, who notes that I should - add logic to translate the keyboard as well). - - <li>Add new command-line option and corresponding resources for making - xterm generate escape sequences compatible with HP terminals. Like - the existing Sun escape sequences, this is available as a popup menu - item. It is enabled by the configure script with the option - --enable-hp-fkeys (requested by Toni Mueller <sales@oeko.net>). - - <li>Add configure script option --disable-boxchars to disable the - fallback support for line drawing characters. - - <li>Fix ifdef's for configure script --disable-ansi-color, and reviewed - all configure options to ensure that all can be enabled/disabled - appropriately. - - <li>Update config.guess and config.sub, from Lynx. -</ul> - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_89">Patch #89 - 1998/11/20 - XFree86 3.9Nm</A></H1> -This patch completes the implementation of double-sized character support -for the VT100 emulation, and fixes a few minor bugs: - -<ul> -<li>corrected the cursor position in HideCursor, which did not multiply -the column by two when in doublesize mode. -This bug, which did not appear in normal use, -dates back to my original <a href="#xterm_44">changes</a> to partly implement -double-sized characters. -I noticed it when cat'ing a typescript from vttest's double-sized character -test. -<li>ensure that the current line is repainted when switching between -single and double width characters. -<li>reduce the number of bits used for double-sized character coding -from 3 to 2, to make more room for soft-font codes. -<li>copy newer ifdef's from the XFree86 3.3.3 release's main.c, -which address details of glibc and powerpc. -<li>moved definition of DECL_ERRNO in xterm.h to match XFree86 3.3.3 -<li>modify <em>resize</em> to remove the ifdef on SVr4 that suppressed -printing the script for $LINES and $COLUMNS. -Solaris' resize utility does this; suppressing the behavior is unnecessary. -</ul> -I tested the double-sized characters using vttest and the xfsft patch. -These fonts worked reasonably well: -<pre> - -bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 - 9x15 -</pre> -The iso8859 font does not include box characters, of course, but looks good. - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_88">Patch #88 - 1998/10/31 - XFree86 3.9Nk and 3.3.2h</A></H1> -This refines my #85 patch by checking for a case where the font server -returns a bold font that does not quite correspond to the normal font. -When I asked for a bold version of the 6x12 font, the font server -returned a near equivalent where the ascent and descent values did not -match, causing xterm to leave lines across the display. -This patch makes xterm reject that type of mismatch, falling back to the -old font behavior. - -<H1><A NAME="xterm_87">Patch #87 - 1998/10/21 - XFree86 3.9Nj and 3.3.2f</A></H1> -This corrects a problem reported by Stefan Dalibor.

Previously, LIBS was set inside - AC_CACHE_VAL, which worked fine the first time configure was - run, but failed if there were cached values. - - <LI>aclocal.m4: Added temporary setting of LIBS before - AC_TRY_LINK in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, the last value set - by the AC_TRY_RUN loop was used, so only -lcurses was checked. - - <LI>configure.in: Added temporary setting of CPPFLAGS before - AC_CHECK_HEADERS for X11 files.
