If you have "fc-list", it can give a list of names. fc-list results in many fonts being listed but no Monospace! "Times" is in the list. I tried: xterm -fn "Times" xterm -fn "Times-12" xterm -fa "Times" xterm -fa "Times-12" Always the same result with the same default font. Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which is not the default? That would give a track before going in the details of unix fonts literature. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your quick answer. xterm -fa "Monospace" gives no error message but open xterm with the same font (which is not Monospace) as: xterm If you try xterm -fa "foobar" you also get the same result, for any "foobar" string.

Re: Using "konsole" in Cygwin

But "console" has also interesting features (multiple shells in the same window in different tabs for example). From your answer, I conclude that "konsole" is not available in Cygwin. I guess the answer is the same for GNOME-termimal. Do you confirm? Best regards.

Using "konsole" in Cygwin
Hello, I often connect to a KDE Linux server so that I am familiar with "konsole". I tried the "konsole" command on Cygwin, which is unknown. Is there a way to use KDE console on Cygwin. Sorry if my questions look too much elementary. I am new to Cygwin. Do not hesitate to redirect me towards FAQs or user guides. Best regards.

How to launch an xterm using "Monospace" font
Hello, I would like to launch an xterm terminal using "Monospace" font. Monospace is the font used by default by gvim. I tried: xterm -fn "Monospace" which gives an error message.
