872.0. "User-controllable display fonts? " by DECMAC::SYSTEM (Jeff - The Network *IS* the System!) Fri Jun 02 1989 10:50

Is it possible to change the font style/size used for display in the
various DECwindows applications (such as Notes?)

For example, on the Macintosh the user can usually display information in
whatever size/font he likes.

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes, this can be done.  You set the appropriate font resources in your
Xdefaults file (DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT on VMS).  Do a SEARCH XDEFAULTS command on
this conference to find notes that discuss resource settings.

Undocumented and unsupported, but it works.
