[comp.windows.x] Alternate fonts under twm

DAVISM@kcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu (Michael T. Davis) (02/25/90)

	Is it possible to specify fonts other than "fixed", "variable" or
"8x13" in twm?  I am running twm under DECwindows (version 2.0 under VAX/VMS
5.3) and would very much like to be able to use some of the DEC-supplied
fonts.  I've tried specifying fonts by filename and by "full" name (the names
with all those dashes :-).  Any help is appreciated.

							Thanks,
							 Mike

Yes, see the descriptions in twm(1) of the following .twmrc keywords:

	IconFont
	IconManagerFont
	MenuFont
	ResizeFont
	TitleFont

or look in sample-twmrc/*.twmrc.
