![]() Exactly the same one can achieve using Ctrl-RightButton menu, of course. That's a good find: the author assigns key-bindings to shifting between six VT fonts. I wasn't able to locate any useful information either.ĭoes anything in this blog () help solve the issue? Unfortunately, my attempts at making xterm use TrueType fonts also for the following resources ![]() This way, using a slightly different syntax, I have been declaring TrueType fonts for use in xterm and its derivatives for many years. This, however, doesn't answer my question. Xdefaults altogether, as I discovered recently). Xdefaults is still valid in Arch Linux or Cygwin - Fedora's X server set-up ignores. Xdefaults, which have been using for years (even though deprecated. I have been using TrueType fonts in xterm and its derivatives since, I guess, around 2002. You may not be aware, Gareth, that the Xft scheme has allowed use of TrueType in xterm and its derivatives for many years now. The latter eliminates, in particular, all terminal emulators that I know provide font substitution and dynamic font resizing. I have returned to using xterm, uxterm, rxvt in Linux in view of using and experimenting with "small" Linux installations, having no GTK/Qt based applications installed. It is basically at least 10 years ago when I was using xterm and uxterm on a regular basis in Linux (in Cygwin I have continued using xterm for much longer, until wonderful mintty terminal emulator appeared a few years ago). The emphasized part underlines the reason why I started this thread: perhaps I have missed something in recent development of xterm, that allows now to dynamically change the font size, to which we are accustomed now in practically all applications involving text (I can do that, to some extent, even in a Linux console). So basically one of the desktop environments' terminals. fonts, you need a terminal that uses Gtk+ or Qt (or Xft directly). Xterm, unless it's changed drastically in the last few years (unlikely), is based on the old Athena/Xt/Xlib GUI libraries fresh from the '80s, and thus uses the old X-server-side font rendering system. ![]() To get that program, do "yum install xorg-x11-apps". You can get a grip on the format used and browse your bitmap fonts by running the program xfontsel. The commented out 2nd line defines a bitmap font. Note that in this file a leading exclamation mark makes it a "comment" line. Xresources file, with entries for urxvt removed for brevity. If using a tty font, you can increase/decrease font size dynamically with a key-press combination (read the man page for xterm). You can create the file ~/.Xresources and in it configure your preferences for xterm, including either a single or multiple bitmap fonts to cycle through or a tty font to use. I think you can do what you want, but perhaps not exactly in the manner you want.
