Date: Sun 27-Sep-1989 17:15:56 From: Unknown Subject: Can I change the default size of windows, and the default font? I'd like the system to remember when I resize a terminal window, and have it always come up big. I'd also like to change the font size in a terminal window. Any way? If so, where was this documented, so I don't waste the net's time in the future? Thanks. --Franklin franklin a davis Thinking Machines Corp.

(Please search for Terminal in Digital Librarian; I don't know exactly where it is.) Under 1.0, you can set the font using "dwrite Terminal NXFixedPitchFont <font name>" and the size using "dwrite Terminal NXFixedPitchFontSize <font name>". I haven't done it, but I know that you can also preset the columns and lines that Terminal uses by default. Do a "strings" on the Terminal App to see ALL the (documented and undocumented) defaults you can set. These changes only take place for subsequent Terminals that you bring up.
