[Cc:ed to gnats so others can find this in the PR database] I think so. I looked at the xclock manpage for XFree86-4.4.0 * (which is newer than whats in the ports tree), and found that you can use the flag '-norender' to xclock. With that, you should be able to use your familiar way of specifying the font to use. An example: $ xclock -norender -d -font 12x24 I've tried it, and it works for me.
