Not sure if this is what you want, but you can set the font and sizes from the
command line. What I do is instead of launching Eterm directly, I created a
script to launch it with the settings (fonts) I want:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/Eterm -F drift --bold-font \
drift -c Blue -g 110x40 -L 400 -n Node1 --shade 50 "$@"
exit $?
>From 'man Eterm':
--bold-font font
Sets the bold text font to font.
-F font, --font font
Sets the normal text font to font.
--default-font-index num
Specifies the index of the default (normal) text font.
--font1 font
...
--font4 font
Sets the font at the specified index (1-4) to font.
Also, you can change fonts/sizes on-the-fly by pressing shift and either the
plus or minus keys.
