In the past I struggled with miniscule font sizes and learned how to correct this by setting the display size in grub. A reboot recovered my preferred font sizes while preserving the new correct lines and arrows indicating threads in mutt. xterm was not installed so I installed it. When I ran xterm it aborted saying DISPLAY was not set.
