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
