- I have the font and boldFont set for xterms, which works fine,
- however, when italic characters are to be printed, they simply get
- reversed ( in man pages for example ).
-
- As a WISH, I would like to know if it is posible to get xterm to use
- normal, bold and italicised fonts, and possibly even italicised bold!
-
- I have read the manpages and X11 in a nutshell, and there is no
- mention of italics for xterms.. does such an option exist? if so how?
- or perhaps there is another version of xterm running which handles
- these extensions ( X11R5 perhaps?? we only have R4 )
-
- thanks in advance
