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): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793295 -- Vincent Lefèvre - Web: 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
