Description:

Xterm crashes with ctrl-rightmouse

Additional info:
* 344-1 package version(s)
* minimal config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

fire up xterm. As soon as ctrl-rightmouse is used, xterm crashes.

Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Error: Aborting: no font found.

This was usually not an issue before. And I don't know when it started.

The solution is to install xorg-fonts-misc, and of course, if other fonts such as TrueType are needed from the config file, then install the xorg-fonts-type1 package too.

This task depends upon

I can't find anything in v344 related to the font. But v345 improves mouse behavior. Is this still an issue at all or fixed?
