change the default dtterm font size

[Arnold Ling]

How can I change the default font size of a dtterm terminal emulation? Is there a config file for the font size?

You define the font in the dtterm startup command. Use the -fn flag. ex:

/usr/bin/X11/dtterm -fn 10x20

A list of font aliases can be found in:

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias

you should be able to change it via the dtterms menu : options font size !

Also take a look at"man dtterm", there's also the method via CDE's style manager (front panel), but this will affect all CDE applications : also take a look at /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm. Dtterms resource file.

Just read your other post on the same subject. Your problem if Reflections is involved is the PC does not have access to dt-interface fonts. (the one's dtterms need !)

To resolve your problem set up a font server on the HP system and point your reflections X font path to use it !(set via the config screen on the PC). For info on How to do this exactly : use the search Facility Top Left : I'd try " xfs cde font " as a good search string ?

You can configure the default font size for the dtterm in the dtterm default resources file: /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm
