Re: font and screen size

I tried to change the font size with the option "-fs" after the xterm
command however xterm did not recognize that option even though it
appeared in "man xterm". I am guessing that it was just not compiled
into the cygwin version of xterm. Is there any other way to accomplish
this. I could just set the "-fn" option which stands for "font name"
and use a font that has a large standard size but someone would need
to explain to me how to set that up!

I just want to get the shell larger in general so it does not hurt my
eyes. Maybe there is another way just to scale everything up?

There are normally installed bitmap fonts (font2, etc), which can be selected with the control/right/mouse menu (or cycle through them with shifted numeric keypad "+" and "-" keys).
