I have a Fedora 6 installation here, and I did at one time spend some time setting up xterm. I don't use it now, and what I did is now sort of foggy, but I'll put some notes here that might possibly be helpful. I use the "uxterm" variant to get unicode fonts, and when I want an xterm console, I call (from my ~/Desktop/xterm.desktop file): uxterm -fa "Courier New" -fb "Courier New:style=Bold" -bg white However, this particular font is not unicode -- I think I couldn't find a unicode font that pleased me. Various xterm defaults are controlled by a file UXTerm in the directory /usr/share/X11/app-defaults (which includes other initialization files). I see that in my version of this file, I've made the substitution of the second line below for the first line: !*VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 *VT100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 ... so this is one way of getting a larger font size. My version of xterm is xterm-225, and I saved the options I used when I configured it, so I may as well give you those: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib64 \ --with-app-defaults=/usr/share/X11 \ --with-Xaw3d \ --enable-256-color \ --enable-88-color \ --enable-exec-xterm \ --enable-hp-fkeys \ --disable-sun-fkeys \ --enable-load-vt-fonts \ --enable-paste64 \ --enable-readline-mouse \ --enable-tcap-fkeys \ --enable-tcap-query \ --enable-toolbar \ --enable-mini-luit \ --enable-luit \ --enable-wide-chars \ --enable-dabbrev \ --enable-rectangles -- Greg _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
