The key for font size is of course the second line, which you may need to adjust to your preference. After making the change, you can either logout of X and re-login or use the following: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources then open up xterm to review the change. With the change here, this will become the default setting for xterm, rather than having to use arguments on the command line each time or modify shell scripts. HTH, Marc Schwartz
