Hallo,

When I start my XTerm I become the fowling error message:

xterm: unable to open font ""xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=12, trying

my .Xdefaults:

Xft*antialias:          true
Xft*dpi:                96

XTerm*font:   xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=12

*foreground:  #efefcf
*color0:      #000000
