That's 14 pixels or points?
Ya, it's the finding one I'm not having much luck with. ;) That's why I was wondering if I could see what font xterm was actually selecting. Then I could see other size options for that font using fontsel, perhaps.
If I say xterm*font: 9x15 I assume that's pixels. At 1680x1050 that's a bit small. It would be nice to find a scalable font so I could fine tune the size.
I use .Xdefaults-<hostname> as xterm seems to read that every time it runs, where if I use .Xresources I have to run xrdb -merge for xterm to see the changes.
Fonts (and X11 in general) has been a weak point in my knowledge. I'm never sure if I should be working in /etc/fonts/local.conf or in my Xresources/Xdefaults file.
Thanks,
On all my machines when I try and bring up the xterm font menu it's always just a small portion of the menu (it's clipped). If I can manage to select a mostly hidden item then next time the full menu shows. Been like the for years.
