| Hi all, I use xterm windows frequently, but find the default font size is too large. Reading over the xterm documentation, I can't find a way to set the set-tek-text option on the command line or in my environment. I can CTRL-[rightclick], but I want this to be set by default every time an xterm is opened. Is it possible to set this on the command line? Or in my environment? If so, where can I find the syntax? Thanks! -Steve in Phx. |

I set-tek-text is an action - actions can be associated with key presses. man xterm says set-tek-text(large/2/3/small) This action sets font used in the Tektronix window to the value of the resources tektextlarge, tek- text2, tektext3, and tektextsmall according to the argument. It is also by the entries of the same names as the resources in tekMenu. font sizes are resource settings man xterm says fontLarge (class Font) Specifies the large font to use in the Tektronix window. font2 (class Font) Specifies font number 2 to use in the Tektronix win- dow. font3 (class Font) Specifies font number 3 to use in the Tektronix win- dow. fontSmall (class Font) Specifies the small font to use in the Tektronix window. > can CTRL-[rightclick], but I want this to be set by default every time > an xterm is opened. > Is it possible to set this on the command line?
