Scaleable fonts

Hi guys, Newbie here. Am trying to get scaleable fonts in a command window running under cygwin. I have installed xorg-x11-fnts (6.8.1.0-3) and xorg-x11-fscl (6.8.1.0-2) but from there I'm at a loss as to how to implement them. I don't care what font is actually used, as long as it's readable

Thanks for that. I'd not thought of using the CVS itself. Living and learning.

nice under tcsh does not register under top?

I have a tcsh script that runs some processes, e.g., `nice +19 gmake run`. I monitor the NI and %CPU columns under `top`. This works fine under FreeBSD and Solaris/SPARC, but under Cygwin the NI column always reads 0? Is it not possible to affect Windows priorities via Cygwin? Thanks. Lester

Hi. I have a document building process which gets its data from a CVS and then autoconf/configure/make... The CVS command I'm using produces 2 log files. The first (cvs1.log) contains all the directory names. The second (cvs2.log) contains the actual changes to the local files. What I want to do

Aha! So it does! Many options. As a newbie to unix style code, the manual is brutal. Would it have really hurt to have a few common examples in the help? Thank you though!
