Thanks. yn> A way you can do it so it affects all users is the following: - edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults - add a line like the following xterm*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* to make the size bigger change the '14' to change the type change the 'r' (regular) to 'o' (oblique) to make it bold, change 'medium' to 'bold' I believe you can change this on a per user basis by adding it to the ~/.Xdefaults file, but I havn't tried it. I do what you did above, but for an icon on the desktop. As you can see, there are several different approaches. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - http://www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v6.2+ - Kernel 2.2.13 Help!
