Hello X Gurus,

I'm experiencing problems when I try to specify fonts for xman.
My .Xdefaults looks like this:

( grep -i xman .Xdefaults )

Xman*bothShown:				true
Xman*manualFontNormal:	"-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-*-*"
Xman*manualFontBold:	"-*-courier-bold-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-*-*"
Xman*manualFontItalic:	"-*-courier-medium-o-normal-*-*-140-*-*-m-*-*-*"
Xman*topBox.geometry:			+58+180

What happens is that in the manual browser I only get the fixed bold
font (whether the text is actually bold, normal, or italics), no matter
how I change the names above. In fact, fonts are only o.k. (using
the new century schoolbook family as defined in xman/ScrollByL.h) if
I cut out the 3 font definition lines from above.

Setup: MIT vanilla X11R4 with patches 1 thru 14
       Sun SS1 w/ color graphics
       loading .Xdefaults via (shell script)

WINDOWMANAGER=twm
XRDB_DEF="-Usun -DTWM -DHOME=${HOME} -DWINDOWMANAGER=${WINDOWMANAGER}"
xrdb ${XRDB_DEF} -retain -load "${HOME}/.Xdefaults"

Any help on how to make xman behave properly is greatly appreciated!

Martin
