Even that can be solved with a bit of twiddling. xterm has an amazing number of useful flags -- useful enough that I actually read the man page :o) There are two flags (at least) to do with fonts, -fn and -fs which mean font-name and font-size. I always use -fn 9x15, which is confusing because 9x15 is actually the name of my favorite xterm font, not its size. You may or may not have the 9x15 font, so a bit of daring may be needed to find what you like by trial and error. > Bless you some more.

Will do, BT, if ever I get more than 100 paces away from my computer ;o) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
