Hi all

Even though I don't have a solution to the previous problem, I already have another one.

A while ago I tried 'fp' and didn't get anything. Not having time, I dropped the issue. Now I tried again, and decided to dig a little deeper:

1) in an 'aterm', calling fp doesn't show _anything_, just waits for Ctrl-C to exit to the promps (no menu, no gibberish.)

2) in a real 'xterm', fp works normally - I don't like xterms, because I had some problems with multiple charsets and I haven't found out to make them transparent.

3) I tried with 'aterm --font vga', then start fp - exactly the same. The font changed to vga though, but no fp in sight. Tried several other fonts, switched off 'aterm' transparence, just in case.

4) Also tried to add -tn linux, though that's the default.

Can anyone tell me what's missing to get aterm to run fp?

Thanks,
John

Implementation of the Xterm terminal standard ? :)

Debugging startup (possibly using a simpler example like installer first), is the only real solution I think.

Just in case someone bumps into the same problem - Thanks to some suggestions on the IRC channel, I solved the aterm problem with:

aterm -tn xterm -e fp

Surprisingly 'aterm -tn rxvt -e fp' does not work (but rxvt -e fp does work!)

That's a bug in aterm then. Either it should implement all of the rxvt terminal escapes, or use it's own terminal type.
