The "xterm -fn ..." was just a test of zsh completion and comparison
with xpdf, which also gives me an error, and I wanted to understand
why. I initially got an error for -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--
so that I tried something simpler with "xpdf -fn fix[TAB]" and noticed
the obvious completion bug "fixed--". Then I tried "xpdf -fn fixed",
and got again an error, so that I was wondering whether the -fn xpdf
option was something special. Thus I tried xterm. But I eventually
found that this was a bug in the Debian xpdf wrapper, which I've just
reported:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793552
Now, the -fa option is useless since what I'm trying to do is to
increase the font size of the *UI* (for xterm, these are the menus),
and -fa has no effect on it. If you have a solution better than
"-fn" or "XTerm*font:" (which does not accept Xft fonts either):
