Re: .xResources? how do you handle it in X4?

Are you sure that you still have the Cronyx fonts on your system (try
xlsfonts, xfontsel, xfd). Recent versions of XFree86 come with a
standard set of KOI8-R-encoded fonts in the ``-misc-fixed'' family,
and the Cronyx fonts are no longer needed.
By the way, you should not use KOI8-R fonts without switching to the
relevant locale. Weird things will happen otherwise (think conversion
between lowercase and uppercase, selection conversion, etc.)

Neither Eterm nor Emacs use standard X11 facilities for selecting
fonts. What happens if you do the same to XTerm or xedit?

Either Netscape uses underspecified fonts, or else it choses its font
size depending on the actual resolution (as in pixels per inch) of the
display. In 3.*, the dimension of the display was defaulted by the
server; in 4.*, the server queries your monitor for its actual
dimensions. Some monitors provide incorrect values.
Search for something like the following in your log file.
(II) S3VIRGE(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 23 vert.: 17
Sorry, I don't remember right now how to override the automatically
determined value.
