You could use options on the command line to change these, but it's probably more convenient to use put some resource lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources or ~/.Xresources. For example, these are the resources for xterm that I use: ! for xterm XTerm*foreground: white XTerm*background: #010040 XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15 XTerm*title: Shell XTerm*loginShell: True XTerm*scrollBar: False XTerm*saveLines: 0 XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^H XTerm*translations: #override \ Home: string("\033[1~") \n\ Delete: string("\033[3~") \n\ End: string("\033[4~") Lines starting with a "!" are comments.=20 You can set the size of an xterm with the geometry resource: 'XTerm*geometry: 80x40' where the size (width x height) is given in characters. This resource belongs to a vt102 window inside the xterm window. So do not use 'XTerm.geometry', because that belongs to the top level xterm window, and takes sizes in pixels. By running the program xlsfonts, you get a list of all the available fonts on your system. With xfontsel you can interactively select a font.
