Hi all,
I run Xwin to start up my xserver and xterm. This is the script
located in the cygwin install:
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat
My Windows installation uses 120 dpi fonts. Unfortunately, the
xterm and xwindows programs are horrifically small in font.
I've tried looking everywhere but I can't increase my font size.
These are the current lines in my startxwin.bat of concern:
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error
run xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
I have tried starting up Xwin with the following line but it
doesn't change anything:
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -dpi 100
I also tried the following to specify the font path to no avail:
run XWin -fp "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" -multiwindow -clipboard
-silent-dup-error
Also, when I then SSH into a Linux machine, and run programs,
like xterm or gvim, they are still small and not legible.
Can anyone help me run Xserver at 100 dpi? Or another
workaround?
Regards,
Julian
