OK, here goes...
first of all, in 2.0 the font panel will be available, so you
might want to wait until it comes out... if not, then you can do
the following:
use the dwrite program to change your defaults by bringing up Shell or
Terminal and enter the following..
dwrite "App" NXFixedPitchFont "fontname"
dwrite "App" NXFixedPitchFontSize "fontsize"
where you replace "App" with either "Shell" or "Terminal",
"fontname" with your choice of font and "fontsize" with
your choice of font size (you can use a real number here or
integer). By the way, don't use the " (quotes) when you do this...
to see what the settings are (before and/or after), you can enter
dread -l
For further info, consult the file
/NextLibrary/Documentation/NeXT/SysRefMan/10_Support.wn
it's a WriteNow file.
if you screw up, and want to take out something, you can
use the
dremove etc,etc
command.
Bon Chance,
