On my desktop box I settled on an xterm font and font size by experimenting thus: xterm -fa 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' -fs 10 I went through a number of fonts until I settled on the one I liked most. Then I created an .Xdefaults file in my home directory which included: Xterm*faceName Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Xterm*faceSize 10 Everything works fine. However, when I tried to to this on my old Compaq Presario on which I have 7.2 installed it doesn't work. Oddly, I can create an xterm window using the original xterm command that I used when I was experimenting with fonts, and the window opens and is rendered correctly, but I can't get X to read the .Xdefaults file. Any ideas on why .Xdefauts works on the desktop box but not the laptop? Rem
