Is there a way to resize the size of the text in an xterm window? Mine is so small that I can't read it on my tv.

Can this be done dynamically to a text window or is it a global setting only?

You can create a file called .Xdefaults in your home directory and add the following line:

Code:

XTerm*VT100*font: 9x15

You can also use 10x20 for a really big font.

To change it for all users, there is a globla XTerm file somewhere. You can do a "find / -name XTerm" to find it. Then change the xresources in there.

To change the font size within an xterm, ctrl-(right click) in the window. Select Huge. This should make it readable.
