Since I avoid xterm like the plague, except in occasional tests of the book, and loathe the legacy fonts (like the bitmapped versions of some Chinese fonts for small sizes, probably useful in the distant past when 640x480 screens were common), I'm not sure what you are saying. Specifically: "my resolution" - is this some sort of high DPI screen ? For me, resolution usually means things like 1024xsomething, 1280xsomething, 1680xsomething, 1920xsomething (and increasingly large monitors as the resolution increases. "the defaults" - how are you identifying these, and what are they ? I think I recall messing with a ~/.Xresources years ago to identify legacy fonts by their convoluted specification, but for a long time I've not set anything there for xterm (urxvt is a different matter). A quick look found the following on one of my systems, which are probably a bit bigger than the default size, but otherwise look like a normal choice of monospaced font: !*VT100.font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso8859-15 *VT100.font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-m-110-iso8859-15 ĸen -- The beauty of reading a page of de Selby is that it leads one inescapably to the conclusion that one is not, of all nincompoops, the greates. -- du Garbandier -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
