default font size

2004-12-16 Thread Josef Dalcolmo 
Hello,

the default font size within the xterm, that comes up on the default 
installation of Cygwin is tiny. I would generally prefer a larger size. How do 
I increase the font size? (there is no XF86Config file any more).

The default font size for xterm is normally the alias fixed.
That can be set by a resource value (see the manpage).
The available fonts can be listed with xlsfonts.

select another font

xterm -fn 7x13 or xterm -fn 12x24

fontnames can be listed with xlsfonts

or xterm -fa Courier -fs 12

fontnames can be listed with fs-list

adding -dpi 100 to the XWin commandline may help too (and installing the 
xorg-x11-f100 package)

bye
