Eh... erm... I didn't change anything in xterm or the font rendering/caching areas of X between 2.3.0 and this rc... =/
The problem happens with both local and remote xterm, the remote one running on a freebsd system. It happens no matter what font I specify for the xterm. A remote emacs works fine, but I don't think it uses Xft. To test the hypothesis that Xft rendering is somehow broken, what other applications can I try? Oh, wait: xfd seems to be one. It works perfectly, just adding to the mystery.
I am perplexed, but forcing a font cache update can't hurt: sudo /usr/X11/bin/font_cache -f -s && /usr/X11/bin/font_cache -f
Didn't change a thing, but thanks; I'll keep it for future reference. - Harald
