Hi, I've been looking for a solution to change the default font on Eterm without results .. I mean ... the parameter "-F" indicates the font to use, but I don't know how to write the font. I explain myself:
$Eterm -F Vera
Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "Vera". Falling back on "fixed"
How do I have to write the value of "-F" ? ... if there's another way to do this thing, bring it on

"Vera" isn't a font... run fc-list to see the font names to use (I'm assuming Eterm uses xft font names... if not then run xlsfonts)

Thanxs phrakture, the right way to use the parameter -F is:
Eterm -F "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1"
I used xfontsel to get that line
The only thing left is change the size of the font and It's done , but that's not a problem

FYI, xterm supports xft names with a different switch (-fn is for xlsfonts type names, -fa is for fc-list type names)
you can also make a font alias for a font, if you'd like... check the font dirs and the fonts.alias file to see how to do it...
