Have you tried creating a ~/.Xresources file with something like: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
xterm*faceSize:12 |
| 35 |
xterm*faceSize1:6 |
| 36 |
xterm*faceSize2:8 |
| 37 |
xterm*faceSize3:10 |
| 38 |
xterm*faceSize4:12 |
| 39 |
xterm*faceSize5:14 |
| 40 |
xterm*faceSize6:16 |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
This seems to work here, but I do not change font sizes in real time. |
