It IS the real thing. When DISPLAY=:0, it uses MSWin calls to draw itself. When DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 (or some other X-ish looking thing) it uses X11 calls to draw itself --- but you need an Xserver. > Anyhow, I was > wondering if anyone has had any success changing the font that it > uses -- I need to get line-drawing characters working so when > I telnet to other systems, things display correctly. Any ideas? a) either use it in X mode with an Xserver, and set TERM=rxvt, or b) make sure that your CYGWIN variable contains 'codepage:oem' and that you are using a font that has the linedraw characters (most windows fonts do not -- or they're in the wrong place in the encoding). Try LuconP from http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/unversioned/bashprompt/ To set fonts (when using rxvt in MSWin mode), use -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-11" Of course, in X11 mode, -fn sabvga Or whatever your choice of font is. In X11 mode, the fonts must be installed where your local Xserver can find them. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
