Re: Default Fonts of X Window

["Alex Kwan" <alexkwan@pacific.net.hk>]

Hi! Eric,

It was because after I have installed X window 3.3.6 on my
laptop, (not yet install any Window Manager and Application),
I found that the fonts of xterm is big and ugly (titlle of the xterm
window and display what I type) so I wanted to change it, how to?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "default".  However, I believe X will give
preference to the first version of a font that it finds (like, if you
have TTF and Postscript versions of the same fonts, or 75dpi and 100dpi
versions).  X will bitch and complain if it can't find the "fixed" font
which usually lives in the /misc font dir.  However, the fonts that
particular applications or window manager use are dependent on those
apps.
