Hi Mike, One way is to put a line like one of the following in ~/.Xresources *font: 6x13 XTerm*font: 7x14 The latter affects just xterm, but the former affects anything that uses a font resource (xterm, rxvt, emacs, etc.). You can test changes without restarting X by running xrdb -load ~/.Xresources PS I'm not sure whether .Xdefaults is a valid alternative name to .Xresources -- Cheers, Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
