"fixed" is an alias for "6x13", which is itself an alias for something like "-misc-fixes-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*".

How to specify a larger font for an application?
I normally use the X2 text editor for most of my file editing, but although it is an excellent editor, its default font is too small for me to read easily, so I'm looking for a way to change that. The editor has a configuration file with a parameter that looks like this: xwindows_font: fixed but I haven't figured out what the possibilities are for valid font descriptions to replace "fixed". ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
