Apparently it is possible to run xboard with a font argument but I haven't bothered to sort this out yet. http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-xboard@gnu.org/msg00009.html Karim _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-ubuntu mailing list Pkg-games-ubuntu@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-ubuntu
