You would put the following in your ".Xdefaults" file: *documentFonts.xResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 *documentFonts.yResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 Of course, you have to have the 100 dpi fonts installed. Using the 100 dpi fonts does help but does not totally solve the problem however. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
