I would like to specify a font for rxvt in ~/.Xdefaults and have it look
the same whether it's using native win32 or X11. I have added lucida
console to the font path, and I wish to have it be 11 pt. If I put:
rxvt*font: "-*-lucida console-*-*-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*"
...in .Xdefaults, then the font looks fine for W11 (rxvt started with no
xserver), but it's tiny when started with Xwin running. Likewise if I
use
rxvt*font: "-*-lucida console-*-*-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-*-*"
...in .Xdefaults, then the font looks correct for X11 but looks HUGE for
native windows. It seems that W11 and X11 seem to have a factor of 100
difference in point sizes.
Is there any clean solution to this, so that I can have the fonts look
the same in both situations?
