1. Could someone pls post instructions about how to reply to an existing post.
2. I have a font I'd like to use and its located at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF with
administrator permissions.
3. How can I make this font the default for an xterm?  Do I have to
set the path in
some manner?

thanks,
matt

Then I changed .Xdefaults to

aterm*font:-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso10646-1
XTerm.font:-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso10646-1
urxvt*font:-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso10646-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, I selected the font with xfontsel, and then started
up an xterm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
result: the font did not change
Is something incorrect or out of order?

matt.

Based on a previous suggestion:
------------------------------------------------------------
fc-list | less
-------------------------------------------------------------
Luxi Serif:style=Regular
LucidaBright:style=Italic
Utopia:style=Bold Italic
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Bold
Luxi Serif:style=Bold
LucidaTypewriter:style=Sans Bold
Fixed:style=Bold
. . .
-------------------------------------------------------------
So I setup my .Xdefaults to:
-------------------------------------------------------------
            XTerm.VT100.scrollBar:      True
            XTerm.VT100.visualBell:     True
            XTerm.VT100.loginShell:     True
XTerm*scrollbar:                True
XTerm*background:               Wheat
XTerm*foreground:               Black
XTerm*font: Luxi Serif:style=Bold
*renderFont:true
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The result, when I started up an xterm, was:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Color name "Wheat " is not defined
Warning: Color name "Black " is not defined
xterm:  unable to open font "Luxi Serif ", trying "fixed"....

What would you suggest for this case?
matt

xfontsel seems to work (to change the font).  Thanks.
A related question is, given an xterm, how can I find
out what the current font in use is?

Hello,
I'm new to cygwin/xfree and I'm trying to change my xterm font.   What
I did was, typed 'xlsfonts' at
the command prompt.  Then I selected a font name and added it to my
.Xdefaults, for example
'XTerm*font: -*-courier-bold-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'.
This produced the following message:
xterm:  unable to open font "*****", trying "fixed".... I repeat this
procedure about 10 times and
got the same message each time.   Is this fixable?  If so, what would
you suggest?

thx.,
matias
