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?
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>.
