X fonts
This is really not Debian-specific. But this is the *best* place to get
answers.
I just got a new 17" monitor and am trying to use it at 1600x1200.
Okay, so things get small. So I though I'd use bigger fonts and still
benefit from higher resolution. I like the smaller window manger icons and
buttons, but I need slightly bigger fonts in rxvt and Emacs.
I'm using `misc 9x15' in Emacs and anything more is ugly (it jumps to 10x20
with nothing in between).
These are `misc' fonts from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/.
So, I downloaded XFree-3.3's 100 dpi fonts.
rxvt --font lucidasanstypewriter-14 &
This looks better, I guess (same width, but taller font).
But Emacs doesn't seem to know about these fonts, offering only `misc'
and `courrier'.
Has anyone ever had to do anything like this?
What's available?
In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/, I now have:
100dpi 75dpi PEX misc
I noticed that, for example, courR14.pcf.gz is in both 75dpi and 100dpi.
Which gets used? Nothing changes if I remove the 75dpi directory from
XF86Config's font path.
I'd appreciate pointers if anyone has any to offer.
