Many X apps have Xresource settings you can put in your ~/.Xresources (or ~/.Xdefaults in some lands...). For instance, I have this for xterm: XTerm*background: black XTerm*foreground: gray90 XTerm*font: 9x15 XTerm*scrollBar: False Finding what the "Resources" are for a particular application can be difficult, although many will list them (and appropriate parameters) in there manpages. The worst are the ones that say "The usual Xresources" or some such -- that isn't much help :). Happy hunting and pecking. Note: I find it strange that you have a lot of cursive fonts. I don't think that would be a default set-up. Typically defaults are something bland like "fixed" or "helvetica" or "courier" -- and roman slant. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
