Hi there, I'm afraid this message has nothing amd64 specific in it, so you should have posted to a different list, e.g. suse-linux-e, but I'll comment anyway... See below. On Wed, 10 May 2006, 09:37:29 +0200, Sheo Shanker Prasad wrote:

I will greatly appreciate help regarding the choice of fonts in X-terminal. I use this command

xterm -fn 9x15 -bg White -fg Darkred -sb -title "wide1" -geometry 160x60 -j -sl 2000 -rightbar -aw&

However, the font 9X15 is quite big and I need to get a font that is bigger than the default "fixed" but smaller than the 9X15.

But, I cannot change the fonts. The moment I try -fn 9X14 or -fn 8X15 , I get the message that "cannot open the 9X14 font using the fixed fonts. Unfortunately, as I said this default fixed font is too small.

There are now fonts "9X14" or "8X15" installed on your machine. You can get a list of installed fonts by running the command "xlsfonts"; on my machine I'll see the following: $ xlsfonts | egrep '[0-9][xX][0-9]' -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-m-80-bitmap.8x16-0 10x20 12x24 12x24kana 12x24romankana 5x7 5x8 6x10 6x12 6x13 6x13bold 6x9 7x13 7x13bold 7x13euro 7x13eurobold 7x14 7x14bold 8x13 8x13bold 8x16 8x16kana 8x16romankana 9x15 9x15bold heb6x13 heb8x13

I will greatly appreciate any suggestion about controlling fonts in X-Terminal.

HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
