Re: Console fonts in rxvt
Hey,
What are you using as a font name? You just use any font that X
recognizes (use xfontsel to get the font-name). With aterm, i use the
font "-ormaxx-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*". I'm guessing you were just
trying something like -fn "courier"? xfontsel will be your friend.
Good luck,
Cameron
