Fedora 31
xterm-351-1.fc31.x86_64.rpm
If I open an xterm window and use the menu to select the "Small"
font, I like the result. But I can't seem to find the proper
command options to get that result immediately, without the need
to use the menu. The font I find from "appres XTerm xterm |
grep -i VT100.font3" is "6x10" but that is certainly not what
I see in the xterm window. Applying the result of "appres XTerm
xterm | grep -i VT100.utf8Fonts.font3" using the xterm option "-fa
'-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1'" gets
a smaller version of the font which appears when selecting "Small".
Adding the "-fs 9.0" option gets a font that appears to be identical
but isn't as crisp. Examining both with xmag shows that mine has a lot
of half-tones but the one that comes up with "Small" doesn't.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? What options can I use on a
command line to get the same font as selecting "Small" with the xterm
menu?
