Sorry, don't know why that sometimes happens. Forget about the menu launcher for now. Start 'angband' from xterm with a small font and wear magnifying glasses.

* Angband wants an 80x24 screen.
* With osso-xterm-0.14.mh3 we can not get an 80x24 (25) screen with 16-pt font

With osso-xterm-0.14.mh3 You can get a 77x25 char screen by installing and selecting font dejavu-sans-mono 16 and selecting bold, then manually disabling toolbar after startup of osso-xterm. To see your current terminal 'resolution', type stty -a (edit, sometimes the menu launcher will still crashor it.. so i hit fullscreen right after the xterm comes up and before angband starts)

If we could disable the scrollbar and toolbar before menu launch, we could have a fullscreen 80x25 terminal for Angband.

With osso-xterm-0.14.mh3, you can not disable the scrollbar (though there is a setting for it in gconf)

With osso-xterm-0.14.mh3, you can disable the toolbar after manual xterm startup but osso-xterm FAILS to load your preferred settings from the gconf database on next start. So it is impossible to launch Angband from menu with disabled toolbar.

Perhaps Joni Valtanen, the porter of osso-xterm could fix the gconf settings someday?

If someone else figures out how to disable scrollbar and toolbar on osso-xterm-0.14.mh3 please post here. Thanks!

(edit) Turns out osso-xterm is only available as mh3, yet they have made EIGHT NEW BUILDS (apparently up to mh11 now) with bugfixes and feature additions WITHOUT RELEASING ANYTHING. ... NICE

Anyway you can set font size to 14 in gconf editor then launch angband with

angband -- -b

and get a decently playable 97x28 screen...



(edit2) Xterm Toolbar toggle fixed. Whitescreen (hopefully!) fixed with new osso-xterm build. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18388

(edit3) New angband .deb is up - Addison please try it with the new Xterm -HINT- hit ctrl-R to refresh screen after font size change

(edit4) New angband .deb is up - NOW with NO SCROLLBAR!

(edit5) sometimes the menu launcher will still crash.. so i hit fullscreen right after the xterm comes up and before angband starts :/
