Re: font and screen size

OK. I think it was not working because I was just appending options to
 -e /usr/bin/bash -l" in the startx batch file which for
some reason does not work for any option I append (the shell just dies
quickly).

One interesting thing I found is that if I replace the "%RUN% xterm -e
/usr/bin/bash -l" in the startx batch file with "xterm -fn 12X24" I
get the large font size however it opens onto my Windows desktop not
my cygwin hierarchy which is in a different drive. It opens into the
correct drive but with the small font with "%RUN% xterm -e
/usr/bin/bash -l".

How can I get it to open with the large font size in the correct directory?

That is weird. I do not have a .Xdefaults in my home directory. I do
have a .Xauthority-c file, which is empty. I downloaded it pretty
recently, maybe we are working with different versions.

In my $HOME/.Xdefaults I have:
try
"%RUN% xterm -fn 12x24 -e /usr/bin/bash -l

anything after the -e /usr/bin/bash is being passed as a parameter to bash, not xterm...
