It used to work in 2007.0, but now I run 2008.0 all xterm instances print to stderr when first invoking this menu: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Reproducible: Always

and also, when selecting any entry in this menu, my 2008.0 only beeps, but 2007.0 was able to deal with the task.
Could you try 235 just to make sure? echo =x11-terms/xterm-235 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -va xterm
the bug is still present. I was wondering whether it is really about 2007.0 vs 2008.0, I am not sure, but this output may also show that fontconfig use flag couldn't cause this bug.

Please try with version #243 and report back.
The Xaw initialization falls into a design blackhole which tries to load fontsets (even though the library uses very little of it). You might be able to make the warning go away using the "menuLocale" resource (see xterm manual), setting it to "C".
imi@boborjan ~ $ eix -e xterm [D] x11-terms/xterm Available versions: 229 235 237 239 ~241 {Xaw3d paste64 toolbar truetype unicode} Installed versions: 242(15.34.02 2009-05-08)(truetype unicode -Xaw3d -toolbar) Homepage: http://dickey.his.com/xterm/ Description: Terminal Emulator for X Windows It seems like on amd64 -243 is unavailable yet. however on -242 the bug can be reproduced, also when XTerm is started like: xterm -xrm "XTerm.menuLocale: C" xterm -xrm "menuLocale: C"
It sounds as if you're agreeing that using the menuLocale resource makes the problem not appear. (The problem itself is in the X fonts or locale configuration).
using those menuLocal commands (stated above), the problem still _does_ appear.
oh.. looking closer: the example you gave doesn't use a proper pattern. I'd expect something like xterm -xrm "XTerm*menuLocale: C" xterm -xrm "*menuLocale: C" The first pattern used a ".", which would not work if xterm is compiled with the toolbar (which GenToo does). The second pattern, lacking an "*" would only match applications named "menuLocale".
using any of the xterm -xrm "XTerm*menuLocale: C" xterm -xrm "*menuLocale: C" commands generate exactly the same bug.
#248 in Portage, anyone available to retest if this issue is still present?
Please get back to us. Thanks
