[SOLVED]Fonts in aterm

ttf in aterm?
i tried  but nothing(through .Xdefaults), maybe wrong?
then, how to install pretty fonts ?
oh.
with xterm is POSSIBLE!
xterm -fa 'Monospace-9'
but with aterm...?
i would like that in aterm, because is faster than xterm.

Re: [SOLVED]Fonts in aterm

Doesn't the man page tell you how?

       -fn fontname
              Main normal text font; resource font.

       -fb fontname
              Main bold text font; resource boldFont.

       -fm fontname
              Main multicharacter font; resource mfont.

No. i think not. If some option is for set a FreeType yes (what i don't know) , then not.

And if you need more, you can see if rxvt ones work, because aterm is based on rxvt.

Re: [SOLVED]Fonts in aterm

Hm. I've found mrxvt, that seems to have all xterm pros and speed of aterm.
I recommend mrxvt, because can also load xft fonts.
Thank you for away from me the primitive (but fast) aterm!
But  now (in wiki doesn't appear), how to configure mrxvt Xdefaults ?
BTW:SFME

SEE THIS PLEASE:

To mesure the terminal startup velocity i do:
time xterm -e exit
or
time aterm -e exit
and (for me) mrxvt is much faster than aterm.

I knew it would come to this :-)
How about urxvt? I open 8 urxvt terminals with various settings in 3 seconds in total. I'm not saying that the comparison is flawed, because I didn't bother to check it, but it's three years old, so things might look quite different now.


The settings look like this:

mrxvt.termName: booooo
mrxvt.scrollBar: false
mrxvt.loginShell: true
mrxvt.saveLines: 65512
mrxvt.boldMode: false
mrxvt.inheritPixmap: false
mrxvt.jumpScroll: true
mrxvt.tintColor: #000000
mrxvt.internalBorder: 0
mrxvt.cursorBlink: false
mrxvt.cursorColor: #E2BAF1
mrxvt.cursorColor2: #000000
mrxvt.background: #121212
mrxvt.foreground: #a7a7a7
mrxvt.borderless: true
mrxvt.hideTabbar: true
mrxvt.showMenu: false
mrxvt.hideButtons: true

but, as always, you should check the man page, the webpage of the app and generally google around.


OK, I think you've solved your problem, so mark this topic appropriately.
