Package: mrxvt
Version: 0.5.2+svn235-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I have good eyes and a crisp monitor, and I like my terminals small and
plentiful.  The mrxvt ships with a minimum font size that is very large,
making it unusable for me for everyday use, and on the occasion that I
want to shrink it down to something so small I can notice activity but
not detail (like xterm's "unreadable" size), I can't do that either.

Looking at the source code, this is a one line fix, as if Jimmy had it
in mind when he wrote the limitation.  I don't understand the need for
such a limitation, so I would like to propose removing it.  Patch
follows.
