Thank you, Jeremy, for your suggestion. I tried the Mintty font chooser. Unfortunately, the Monospace font is not proposed. However, the Fixedsys font is proposed, which is OK for me (my feeling is that the Lucida Console is too thin and the Lucida Console-bold is not nice). I agree that Mintty is great. I just regret that the middle-mouse paste does not work (ctrl-insert/shift insert instead).

I don't know the answer to your question, but have you tried using mintty instead of rxvt? Mintty has an options dialog which includes a font chooser, and is better all around than rxvt. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
