I've using ~/.Xresources to specifiy the font: aterm*font: 10x20 but this does not seem to work now. Trying from the command line: % aterm -fn 10x20 aterm: can't load font "10x20" % aterm -fn 9x15 aterm: can't load font "9x15" Checking UPDATING, I see the following note that may possibly be relevant: 20150321: AFFECTS: Users of x11-servers/xorg-server and other X servers AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org All fonts ports have been modified to respect XDG and install in share/fonts The Xorg servers now are looking there by default, and have been modified to also look into etc/X11/fontpath.d (see Xserver(1) for more details) adding a symlink in that directory pointing to a font directory will automatically add the later into Xorg FontPath Is this telling me I have to do something, and if so, what? Am I supposed to be adding a symlink where pointing to what? And does this have anything to do with my problem anyway? -- Will
