Xterm "Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct"

[dgame]

Hi,


I am trying to use the Xterm terminal with a larger font, but nothing seems to work.


I tried xterm -fn and it is "Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font"


If I just run Xterm alone with 'xterm' it gives "Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct"


I searched around the net and some are suggesting installing some kind of font package.


The thing is I need a portable solution (something that would work in a PND on every ones Pandora)

Any ideas?


Thanks!

From IRC :

[12:04] {sebt3|work} Cloudef: do you remember the X11 command you gave me to fix my ogre problem ?


[12:05] {sebt3|work} mcobit: I know I told you that ^^^ do you remeber (I do have a note but not available from here)


[12:16] {Cloudef} sebt3|work: xset +fp


[12:17] {mcobit} % xset fp+ /usr/local/share/lib/X11/fonts/European


[12:17] {mcobit} % xset fp+ /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/F3


[12:17] {mcobit} % xset fp+ /usr/dt/config/xfonts


[12:17] {mcobit} % xset fp rehash

you should try these before starting xterm

Thanks sebt3,


I used:


xset +fp /path/to/fontdir


xlsfonts


xterm -fn name_from_xlsfonts_list


The warning remains but I get access to the fonts now.


I compiled Aterm and it does not error.
