If anything, I'd say you showed remarkable self-restraint. I _HATE_ this. None of the terminal changes are dynamic, so I have to shut down the terminal and restart it with each change. Right now it's essentially unusable because I can't get a decent font set for it. And the actual font configuration line is nowhere in sight. All you have are a few restrictive dropdowns. I used the fixed misc font before, which was quite easy to read. Since my desktop resolution is 1600x1200 I had the font size at 20 to make it easy to read. The only size options the new terminal gives me are 12 or 13 pt. fonts. Is there a config file for this terminal anywhere that I can edit by hand so I can at least get a working font set up? -Alex
