Re: missing fonts with kterm

[Jerome Limozin <jerome@example.com>]

I had same problem.
I fixed it by adding this in my .Xdefaults:

kterm*fontList:\
 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1,\
 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-140-jisx0208.1983-0,\
 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-jisx0201.1976-0

type xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
should be fine now...
