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...
How about installing the sgi fonts from the SuSE cd which are very nice then you could just do this. Make a new icon on desktop called xterm-lg and put this in the excution part of the KDE shortcut. xterm -fn screen18 You can set the background / forground in this line as well. My term shortcut on my panel has this in it for just everyday terms.. wterm -bg black -fg white -fn screen16 -geometry 83x51+95-81 Hope that helps some. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachment is intended for anyone with an email address and does not contain information that is confidential and privileged or that is of any intrinsic value to anyone.
