Hello, Thank you for all the answers to my original request below. This was very instructive. In conclusion: - to get middle-mouse paste of the selection with Mintty, Options/Mouse/copy on select had to be checked, which is not the default. - Mintty behaves much better than the other consoles (rxvt, DOS, putty) when using vim on a ssh connection . Mouse selection works (it does not with DOS) . The keys CTRL-Home/End, Ctrl-PageUp/Down, Ctrl-Up/Down are recognized (without requiring mapping of the escape sequences). - It seems that Monospace font is not available with non-X11 applications. Now my question is:
How to launch an xterm window with Monospace font ? Typing xterm -fn "Monospace" gives an error message.

I don't know the answer to your question, but have you tried using mintty instead of rxvt? Mintty has an options dialog which includes a font chooser, and is better all around than rxvt. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
