In Xterm you can easily change the font size by holding down control and right clicking on it. > Another issue is that somehow I lost libintl.so.5. What > builds this library?

I am guessing you cvsuped and then did a portupgrade -a or something... You can fix this quickly by finding the libintl.so.6, iirc the newest one, and create a sym link pointing to it from libintl.so.5... or you could recompile all apps that depend on it by doing a portupgrade -rRf gettext... > The CD's I installed 5.2 from have KDE-3.1.4; for some reason > the latest rev of KDE refuses to upgrade.
