I'm trying to set the xterm font from the command line using the -fn option. $ xterm -fn fontname What I can't seem to find is the exact fontname of any font on my system (FreeBSD 5.2.1R). I've tried many combinations of my fonts: lowercase mixed case, spaces, hyphes, underscores, etc... and it can never find the font. For example: $ xterm -fn Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono xterm: unable to open font "Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono", trying "fixed" Where can I find the font list that xterm is checking? Thanks!! -- Michael A.
