- When I open a window in X I get a small font and have to change it to the
- "large" font by hand using control-right mouse button. I've looked at .twmrc
- and .xinit files and didn't see anything that looked like it would let me
- get a larger font on startup. Anyone know what to change to get a larger
- type size?
-
- Also, when changing fonts I get an error message on my screen after exiting X
- that says:
-
- Warning:Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-is
- o8859-*" to type FontStruct
-
- Any ideas on what that means?
