increase size of font on terminal

Hey All, Does anyone know how to increase the font size on the terminal that comes with xmonad? You know, the one for when you press Alt-Shift-Enter. Thank you very much for your time. -Sean

That terminal doesn't come with xmonad; it's xterm [1]. A lot depends on your particular system, but you can try adding the following to your ~/.Xresources file: xterm*faceSize: 14 The next xterm you open will hopefully be at a larger size. Xterm configuration is unfortunately a somewhat involved topic, though, and probably beyond the scope of this group. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xterm

Got it. I didn't know xmonad used xterm. That makes this much easier.
Thank you very much!

It uses whatever you specify in your ~/xmonad/xmonad.hs. If you haven't created one and overridden it, the default is xterm, as can be seen in Config.hs in the xmonad source. If you had changed it to say gnome-terminal, Terminal or konsole, you could use their specific keys to adjust their fonts and whatnot. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
