Provide warning for users of xterm 341 #6

Closed tdm4 closed 5 years ago

tdm4 commented 5 years ago

Hi,

You may wish to add to your readme that users of Xterm version 341 may run into problems displaying the Spleen font. It basically gives this error: Selected font has no non-zero height for ISO-8859-1 encoding and exits. The solution is to upgrade to at least version 342 or higher.

(I ran into this trying to run Xterm 341 with Spleen font on FreeBSD 12)

Thanks!

I've also been seeing this warning ever since I started working on Spleen. In practice though, I've never noticed any display issues. Did you encounter any on your side?

tdm4 commented 5 years ago

Yeah, when attempting to use Spleen on FreeBSD 12 with Xterm version 341, it would display that error and refuse to run xterm. Once I upgraded xterm to 342 or higher, it actually ran with the Spleen font selected.

It has probably been long enough now, I think we can ignore the issue.

@fcambus yeah fair enough :+1:
