Dear listmembers, in contrast to my older 9.3 distribution SuSE 10.1 does not react any more on changes to the VT100.font - entry in the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. This is especially boring when you have huge resolutions and you always have to change the xterm - font manually. Is this a bug or a "feature"? However, the file gets parsed as I can change other entries in the same area (i. e. changing "Default" to "Deflt" in the font-size dialog shows with a restart of xterm. Many thanks for the feedback, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) -----------------------------------------------------------
