To make it permament and set the default (so you don't need any command-line options), add an entry to your ~/.Xresources file. Something like, XTerm*Font: -*-courier-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* Your ~/.Xresources file is read when you log into X. You can cause X to re-read it at any time by running the command, xrdb -load ~/.Xresources Perhaps the easiest way to get the idstring of the font is to run the command 'xfontsel'. The most important fields to set are the encoding (which for ASCII-like you'll want probably either iso8859 or iso10646); the spacing/spc (anything but 'p' which is proportional), and of course the size (either pxsiz or ptsiz). -- Deron Meranda
