Control+RMB works fine in an xterm and the huge font is right for me.
Is there any way to do this on the command line?

Yes, you can specify any font you like. I don't remember what it
is, offhand, but it is in the man page. (It's probably -fn
FONTSPEC.)

Chris I see from the man page that I can specify
--fn font or --font font
and I also know that the command line option
xterm -fn 9x15
gives a larger font.

I'd like to specify an even _larger_ font but don't know where to find
the size (eg: 9x15) specifications.

There are some font paths in xorg.conf but they give no information on
font specifications - just the font names.

Chris please ignore my last post.

I found font size information in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

It appears that 10x20 is the largest - it's probably the 'huge' which
works for me.

Thanks, Larry
