That's what I was thinking. I pretty much stick with a plain xterm, but for that to be workable on a 22" 1080p LCD, I had to adjust font sizes. For example, from my ~/.Xdefaults-serenity file: *customization: -color xterm.RenderFont.renderFont: true xterm*faceName: terminusbold xterm*faceSize: 10 These settings don't impact anything outside of xterm, though. -- :wq
