Is it possible to start an xterm with a parameter on the command line producing the same effect as the menu selection "VT Fonts: Huge"?
And if there is another to give a certain size and possition, better still ;-)
The Xresources xterm*Geometry: and xterm*font: or the corresponding command line options if your don't want to mess with Xresources.
Xresources wouldn't work, as I need different xterms of different sizes. As for the command line, that is what I'm looking for, and not finding O:-) It could be a -f?? something, but it seems to be expecting a font name, and I only want to specify that the size I want is Huge. There is a "-fs size", but it wants size in points for truetype fonts... and it doesn't work, "xterm -fs 24" does nothing different than "xterm -fs 12" As for geometry, it seems to be: -geometry geometry This option specifies the preferred size and posi tion of the VT102 window; see X(7). and sends me to "man X", where I get lost again... Ah! found it: "-geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF", where width and height are in chars. And that one works. Well, something solved. I still need the standard font size set to huge, normal, unreadable, etc... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
