Is xrdb something that needs to be run every time you start X, or just once to update a database? I'm guessing the previous, based on its man page, but I'm not sure where I would set this up. You know, on re-evaluation, I don't think the font setting is working, either ... Anyway, I tried your suggestion. This is the output of a query: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrdb -query *customization: -color Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96.000000 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.rgba: none pterm.Font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 pterm.TermHeight: 70 pterm.TermWidth: 80 And yet ... pterm is still coming with its default height, 24. Should the file be .Xresources or .XResources, or does it matter? Does it need to be executable? I couldn't find a man page on this file ... how would I go about finding such a thing? I can't help but feel that I'm missing something glaringly obvious. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
