xpdf fonts and xresources

2010-08-07 Thread Andreas Goesele
Hi, for me the xpdf fonts are too small. So I changed them by putting xpdf*fontList: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 into .Xresources But this leaves the fontsize of the textareas (Page, Search field, printing dialog) unchanged. Is there a way to change the fontsize
