But still, the new xterm is less readable than the old one without another choice for a font and you can't zoom out as much and are thus forced to use small terms. :-(

That's just because the "advanced" package just required installation of the the bitstream-vera fonts which it used. You can install them seperately via this package for OS2008 and enable them in xterm:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chi...1.10-7_all.deb
Better yet, you can add any Truetype fonts you want to your tablet by just copying the .ttf files to /usr/share/fonts/ and restarting the tablet (or rebuilding the font list). The "droid" fonts from Googles Andriod OS look great in OS2008 and xterm.

I got error message from application manager when triying to install the bitstream-vera fonts from the above link.
Application manager log shows following error message:
hildon-application-manager 2.0.1
/usr/bin/dpkg-deb -f '/var/tmp/ttf-bitstream-vera_1.10-7_all.deb'
Package must have "Section: user/FOO" to be considered compatible.
FAILED: deforma
Can someone fix that package?
apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera

Is there a source tarball available so I can compile it? Or do I need to d/l it from cvs or subversion?
The 'normal' xterm allows you to change the background color but not the foreground, unless I've missed something...
Thanks!
