Hi Thilo, Hi Charles,

thanks for your replies. I started playing with the fonts that you 
suggested. The results are somewhat better, but not really good.

I then ran the sarge xterm binary under ubuntu and the fonts were 
perfect, while the scrollbar is still broken.

Obviously, ubuntu's version of xterm is broken. I hope that i will find 
time next week to compare the sources.

Thanks for your help,

	Heinrich
