And in MY opinion, not.  Gee, we offset each other, don't we?  And both our
opinions are even valid.  Fortunately, Tom Dickey's opinion actually
controls.

Oh yes, because after all, you spend *so* much time changing the font size
of your xterm.  I, on the other hand, use selections all the time.

Most people start xterm with the font they want it to use in the first

If you want xterm to act that way, why don't you just configure it to?  Not
like it's hard, and you have an excellent built-in example.
