I'm assuming you're asking how to figure out the name of a font to use. The "xlsfonts" command can be used to give a list of font names. I'm not sure how helpful that is, but it's a starting point. I don't use nedit, but when I launch terminals with a -font argument, I usually stick with the "WIDTHxHEIGHT" font names. hobbit:~$ xlsfonts | grep '[0-9]x[0-9]' 10x20 12x24 12x24kana 12x24romankana 5x7 5x8 6x10 6x12 6x13 6x13 6x13bold 6x9 7x13 7x13bold 7x13euro 7x13eurobold 7x14 7x14bold 8x13 8x13bold 8x16 8x16kana 8x16romankana 9x15 9x15bold heb6x13 heb8x13 Maybe try some of those. E.g. "xterm -font 9x15" or the nedit equivalent may be helpful. If none of those is acceptable, you may try the longer font names.
