Re: [e-users] HOWTO change Eterm default font

[Didier C. <did...@sp...>]

Hi,
    I finally managed to change my Eterm fonts on my own! For those who
want to know the magic behind font manipulation:

Let's say you have a terminalpants.pcf fonts, then all you have to do is
to place it in ~/.fonts . Then run 

mkfontdir ~/.fonts
then place "xset +fp ~/.fonts" in ~/.Xclients-default (Redhat 9!)

restart X and look in the ~/.fonts directory, You'll see a file named
fonts.dir

If you "cat fonts.dir", you'll see something like

-------------------------------------------------------------------
terminalpants.pcf 
-ppants-terminalpants-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this is the magic incantation to load the fonts (that I've been
searching for a while!)

an 
Eterm -F -ppants-terminalpants-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

would load the new fonts and make Eterm look cool! :-)


With kind regards,

Didier
