[arch-general] xterm segfaults selecting true-type and unreadable - OK with fixed

[David C. Rankin]

All,

  I was cleaning up the default xterm look and feel with tweaks to
~/.Xresources. The primary goal was to get a good looking terminal to use in
i3, etc.. as I'm having difficulty stomaching what kde has become -- meaning
I'll have to do without my go-to konsole.

  I have xterm to my liking with a very simple Xresources:

xterm*termName: xterm-256color
Xterm*saveLines: 4096
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
xterm*VT100.geometry: 111x63
xterm*faceName: DejaVu Mono:size=8:antialias=false
xterm*font: 7x13
XTerm*colorBDMode: true
xterm*background: #131518
xterm*foreground: #eff0f1
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm*rightScrollBar: true

  The only problem is selecting 'unreadable' from the font menu results in a
segfault. If I switch back to the 'fixed' bitmap font (e.g. turn true-type
off), 'unreadable' works fine.

  I've tried setting 'XTerm*font1: fixed' and 'XTerm*font1: DejaVu Mono', etc.
which prevents the segfault, but also makes 'unreadable' stay the same size as
'default'. Does anybody know how to make 'unreadable' work with a true-type
selection?
