Thanks, that is an excellent resource. There are some fonts out there that I like, but now I'm having trouble getting xterm to display them properly. The biggest problem is the line spacing. When I do: xterm -fa 'Andale Mono' -fs 12 I get a nice, anti-aliased font, but the lines are spaced way too far apart. Does this happen to others too? I'm using xterm 4.1.0-16. The second problem is than I can't get bold fonts with -fa. If I do xterm -fn '-monotype-andale mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1' I get a bold font, but no antialiasing. Does anyone know how to get both? Gary Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > On Sat, 27 Apr 2002 17:16:24 -0400, Dan Christensen wrote: > >>But on a 14 inch 1600x1200 screen it's too small. > > Gad! That print must be minuscule. The size depends on the font you use. It's not miniscule at all for me! :-) > You're trying to use a 160 pixel per > inch resolution. 143, actually. > On that small monitor, you'll find it a lot easier to read if > you make 1024x768 your max size. Why throw away resolution? I'd rather have a crisper font. I'm using an LCD and don't want to waste pixels. But since most bitmap fonts don't come large enough, this means I have to use truetype or type1.

I put -dpi 143 on the X command line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. How do I check if this is working? Thanks for all the help!
