Hi, for me the xpdf fonts are too small. So I changed them by putting xpdf*fontList: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 into .Xresources But this leaves the fontsize of the textareas ("Page", Search field, printing dialog) unchanged. Is there a way to change the fontsize

xrdb -query to see what you actually have. if there are NO X clients, the resource data base is reset. so you have to make sure there is a long running X client before you try to set the resources. finally, I don't think XTerm is the right name. IIRC, its Xterm for the class, and xterm for the p

I have Debian Lenny basic system with X Window, Ice WM, and xdm installed. When I try to configure Xterm, X.org seems to ignore the "~/.Xresources" file. The command xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources doesn't do any good. I also tried creating .xinitrc file with the entry xrdb -load $H
