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 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
