When I do this, the font changes in both the Windows mode and the X mode (to different things, of course). How do you invoke the X-mode rxvt? Do you have a script or an alias that passes the -fn option to rxvt? Yes, you are right. I did have script with -fn which messed up this. many thanks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Thanks, I am using two shortcuts now and the native one has -fn to overwrite value on .Xdefault. That works. Thank you all for your response!

rxvt fonts size setting problem for X/Cygwin
Hello All, I use rxvt in cygwin in dos shell without X. Font size is set on .Xdefaults as Rxvt*font: Lucida Console-14 But when I run rxvt in X, the fonts size of rxvt terminal is too small. The same setting seems not affect rxvt in X? How can I keep fonts as same as big in cygwin dos shell? Thanks for any help!

It's conceivable that cygwin could provide a customized font alias file to cover the names. I have the impression that the font sizes don't directly correspond, but an alias would hide that. -- Thomas E.

FWIW I noticed the exact same problem and asked some time ago: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-03/msg00160.html. It seems that there is a factor of 100 difference in the font size parsing between W11 and X11. You can otherwise get a font specification that works in both, except for that factor of 100.
