Jean, I think this is what you want. I have: XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* in my .Xdefaults Other than colors, here is my .Xdefaults (in my home directory, natch): XTerm*scrollBar: on XTerm*saveLines: 99999 XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*visualBell: true XTerm*titeInhibit: true urxvt*secondaryScreen: false The most important part is the XTerm*titeInhibit: true, it is beyond me why that isn't the default everywhere (it prevents a screen clear when you're, say, done reading a man page). I want to get rid of the title bar but haven't explored that as I launch most of my xterms from a script. Extract: nohup xterm -name $h -title $h -ls -mc none +tb +mb -vb -sb -sl 99999 -background grey95 -fg black -cr black -ms black -font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*" -e ssh -Yq r...@$h >/dev/null & 2>&1 Naturally $h is the server :) To get the fonts I launched xfontsel and went through it and experimented. Use the 'select' button to put the string into the buffer.
