You can put these in a file and load it with xrdb (which has a man page). To see which resources you need to change, read the man page for each program. If you want something to be set as an overall default font that can be overridden by other fonts in particular cases, put something like this in your ~/.Xresources file (and load it on login with an xrdb line in your .xinitrc or .xsession): *font: 9x15 *fontBold: 9x15bold Read some manuals for more information. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
