Has anyone tried changing the font in xterm? When I tried 'xterm -fn
fontname,' I kept getting 'Could not open font fontname.'
I ran Xinstall which linked '/LocalApps/X11/lib/fonts' to '/usr/lib/X11/
fonts.' Using full or partial pathnames in the -fn argument doesn't seem
to be the solution. Are these fonts (e.g charl12.snf, courO14.snf) printer
and not screen fonts? I don't really want to master X, just be able to use
a larger font on xterm.

I tried this on my machine, and successfully used a 9x15 font with the command line: xterm -fn 9x15 & hope this helps. pasc -- Pascal Chesnais, Research Specialist, Electronic Publishing Group Media Laboratory, E15-348, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Ma, 02139 (617) 253-0311 email: lacsap@plethora.media.mit.edu (NeXT)
