Fonts are configured by using setting X "resources". X Resources are kind of like the Registry in Win95/NT. The trouble is, first you need to find out what resource needs to be set. Resources are named like blah.blah.blah or blah*blah because resources utilize a loose matching algorithm to bind values. For instance, the resource setting *font: 6x10 Would match 'Netscape.font' or 'XTerm.font' unless of course there was a a stricter match available (eg. 'Netscape.font'). I use such a "wildcard" font resource on my laptop. Note that naming of fonts or, shall we say "font specification" can be complex. Fonts have names like: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 This allows an extremely way to find a font based upon criteria. Fortunately, there are a set of aliases for fonts to make life easy for us. If you look at the file /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias you'll see a list of commonly-used fixed-width fonts with names like '6x10'. So open up the file ~/.Xresources and play with *font: blah until you find one you like. Note that each time you modify this file you'll need to restart Netscape. I think you'll also need to run 'xrdb -merge < ~/.Xresources' to load in your new settings. If none of this works report back. -- Jens B.
