That's pretty close -- closer than I have ever been able to manage fiddling with the arguments! Thank you! However, the fonts I'm used to are just a bit darker, taller (less "squat"), and easier to read than the ones I get from -font "10x18". I have gotten (almost) this far two or three times before but never managed to find the manual or Web page that provides a list of possibilities or shows what the fonts look like.
