Greetings All,
First time posting to this list by a long-time Unix system
administrator who has recently converted to the Mac (and loving it!).
I am running Apple's X11 beta 3 under MacOS X 10.2.5 on a 450
MHz G3
tower (beggars can't be choosers and besides, my request for one of the
new 17" PowerBooks hasn't been approved yet) with 640 MB RAM. I am
also
using the trial version of CodeTek's virtual desktop. I'm using two
virtual desktops; one for my "office" apps (i.e. Lotus Notes, Mozilla,
and
M$ Office) and one for my X11 apps.
I have edited my .xinitrc file to start up 10 xterms, xlogo, and
xeyes when I launch X11 (I'm using the quartz-wm). The problem I am
having is that on 3 separate occasions in the last week, one of my apps
has disappeared. Twice it was one of my xterms, once it was xlogo. On
all 3 occasions, the app was running fine, I switched to my "office"
virtual window, sometime later I switched back to my X11 virtual
window,
and the app was simply gone. Has anybody else seen this?
I've seen this behavior under beta 2, haven't used codeteck under beta3
yet. Never
did find a work around for it.
My probably very dumb question is ... how do I change the font
size
in my xterm window? I've got a 21 inch ViewSonic monitor and poor
eyesight, so I'd like to make the font bigger. I'm used to CDE (yeah,
Aqua is a *slight* improvement over CDE <grin>), where it was an
option on
the dtterm window. I know there has to be something very simple that
I'm
overlooking, but I've read the man page for xterm 3 times and can't
find
it. The man page references a "font menu," but how do I activate it?
Would someone mind to make me feel stupid by pointing out what I've
overlooked? Thank you <grin>.
You should be able to specify font when you launch your xterm. A
large, blockstyle
font that seems popular with many people is 10x20. You would start
xterm with
this font by executing <xterm -fn 10x20 [your other options]>
