Talk:Xterm

message: The XFree86 Project's man page for xterm capitalizes xterm when it appears at the beginning of a sentence. For example:
titeInhibit (class TiteInhibit)
: Specifies whether or not xterm should remove ti and te termcap entries (used to switch between alternate screens on startup of many screen-oriented programs) from the TERMCAP string. If set, xterm also ignores the escape sequence to switch to the alternate screen. Xterm supports terminfo in a different way, supporting composite control sequences (also known as private modes) 1047, 1048 and 1049 which have the same effect as the original 47 control sequence. The default for this resource is ``false.''
invisible-island.net's man page for xterm does the same. For example:
EMULATIONS
: Xterm provides usable emulations of related DEC terminals:
Thus, I've gone and changed "xterm" to "Xterm" at the beginnings of sentences. — Chai T. Rex (talk) 21:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oddly enough, the FAQ, and maybe other parts of the web page, also capitalize the "T": "What is XTerm?", "XTerm also provides features...", "XTerm uses a state machine", etc. Kendall-K1 (talk) 05:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Description : The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.
            : It provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for
            : programs that can't use the window system directly.
... That said https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#what_is_vt220 and other places indicates vt220.Djm-leighpark (talk) 15:17, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The manual page is the place to look.  Unlike packager's synopses, it is updated.  Quoting:
 The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.  It
       provides DEC VT102/VT220 and selected features from higher-level
       terminals such as VT320/VT420/VT520 (VTxxx).  It also provides
       Tektronix 4014 emulation for programs that cannot use the window system
       directly. 
The default terminal emulation since 2012 has been VT420. TEDickey (talk) 19:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Any relationship between FOLDOC and this topic appears to have long ago been rendered insignificant TEDickey (talk) 21:46, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it is currently insignificant and that's why I have moved most of these attributions to talk pages. Some close phrasing from FOLDOC was introduced in this version so attribution is required. ~Kvng (talk) 15:15, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

text: ...and as I mentioned, it was inaccurate as written.  Revising the sentence would presumably eliminate the need for attribution TEDickey (talk) 19:56, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

message: That's an odd comment about fonts.  xterm's supported bitmap fonts longer than TrueType, but the latter's been supported since 2000. TEDickey (talk) 21:13, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
