Red hat 5.0, 2.2.1 Kernel.

Could anyone tell me how to change the font size when I open a "xterm" after
I run "startx"?

Thanks in advance!

Please email me!

I believe that is determined by XTerm*font in your ~/.Xdefaults.  I use:
XTerm*font:     7x14
I could be wrong, I am not currently using my home machine :)

Cheers,
Ben

Well you could try holding down the left control key and the right
mouse button and picking a font.

or you could do a               xterm -fn 12x24

To see a list of fonts try      xlsfonts

Assuming you mean you want to start up an xterm with a font size
different from the default (as opposed to changing an existing xterm
with CTRL + rightclick) then the following commands might be useful:

        xterm -fn 5x7           # Tiny
        xterm -fn 6x10          # Small
        xterm -fn 7x13          # Medium
        xterm -fn 9x15          # Large
        xterm -fn 10x20         # Huge

I prefer a font larger than the default so I have the following in my
.Xdefaults file:

        XTerm*Font:     9x15

Put in a font entry in your Xdefaults file. Mine looks like this:

xterm*foreground:               black
xterm*background:               #ddd0bb
xterm*font:                     fixed
xterm*jumpScroll:               False
xterm*reverseWrap:              True
xterm*saveLines:                5000
xterm*scrollBar:                True

get a listing of fonts by doing xlsfonts

Then put in the font you need in the place of "fixed" in my sample.  You can see
how a font looks by running the fontselector (i think its xfontsel ).
