    Has anyone tried changing the font in xterm?  When I tried 'xterm -fn
fontname,'  I kept getting 'Could not open font fontname.'

    I ran Xinstall which linked '/LocalApps/X11/lib/fonts' to '/usr/lib/X11/
fonts.'  Using full or partial pathnames in the -fn argument doesn't seem
to be the solution.  Are these fonts (e.g charl12.snf, courO14.snf) printer
and not screen fonts?  I don't really want to master X, just be able to use
a larger font on xterm.

Thanks.
