Reuben's advice was very good. There might be another aspect, too. If
you scale the geometry, you get a different sized window but the data in
the window might still be as large, thus you will see less data at one
time. You might check the app to see if it will allow further tweaks
on components to scale them. For example, xterm allows for you to
select font size; try the following two commands and look at the
difference:
xterm -geometry 80x24+0+0 -fn 7x14
and
xterm -geometry 80x24+0+0 -fn 10x20
Both open xterm windows at the upper left corner of the screen, the
windows are both 80 characters by 24 lines, but there are two different
fonts. Not all X apps will allow such changes of components, and
some will force the changes to be in an app-defaults file rather
than specified on the command line, but it might be worth exploring
what options are available.
