| No luck with either of the fixed-medium suggestions. The one you

| The easiest solution (of sorts) might be to go back to xterm patch

| Any pointers will be appreciated. BTW: it seems rather unlikely that

It depends on configuration.  Rather than being a "new bug", it seems
that fixes to make the warnings more consistent made these appear (for
you at least).  If I recompile #326 with the debugging trace, it shows
the problem.

The warnings are because the derived font-names for double-width (-fw)
fonts aren't loadable.  I wouldn't notice this with my Debian machines
for instance because the fontpath includes the ":unscaled" feature,
which allows the bitmap fonts to be scaled.

https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/Xserver.1.html

Comparing configuration, I see that cygwin has something like that,
but the feature isn't working.

You can turn the font-warnings off using a resource setting.
