Hi,
Tried that, still doesn't work... the font does get smaller with mlterm is
started with --fontsize=# but the font never changes.

Im going to try google to see if I can find some example configurations that
uses other fonts, otherwise i'll just have to continue supporting other
terminals.


Thanks for the help,
have a nice weekend.
