Hi, When I hold Ctrl and right click on uxterm, a menu shows up, where I can click to enable TrueType fonts. I would like to enable TrueType fonts by default. I guess I could do it by setting it up in ~/.Xresources and use xrdb to merge it. However, I do not know which TrueType font(s) uxterm used, when I manually Ctrl + Right Click to enable it. Or, is there an option in a config file where I just ask uxterm to use TrueType and let uxterm to decide which TrueType font to use? Yours sincerely, Xianwen

The other way around: add a default font and you don't have to say anything else. xterm -fa 'Inconsolata' -fs 14 -dsr-

Thank you all! For me font size 13 is the better balance between visibility and space-efficiency. Otherwise everything works like a charm!
