squinting my eyes

(1/1)

frank_0:
I have installed TCL 2.8 to hard disk and I like it.

Unfortunately, my eyes seem to disagree, after squinting
for a minute at the terminal window they go on strike.

Is there a way to get a terminal window twice the width
and twice the height with a 18p font?

Guy:
Not really the answer you want, but you can change the screen resolution.

From the main menu (right click), select Tools -> Xvesa Setup.

You can also run a light or dark terminal if that is any help. From the menu, select Shells.

bmarkus:
Using Xorg it is easy to adjust in the terminal, in the gtk rc file, as well as the screen resolution, color depth, ...

curaga:
Aterm only supports bitmap fonts, and I don't think there are that many included. You can try using something like
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" as the font name in .Xdefaults.

Alternatively, use a terminal emulator that supports Truetype fonts, like Terminal or lxterminal. The font size should be easily available in their preferences.

Tahoe:
Still there Frank, you run IceWM without Xorg? I've got a fix for ya.
