It sure would be nice to have a typefont available for the vterm window
with a size larger than 'tiny' and smaller than 'small' Lots of times it is
nice to look at lots of data on the screen, and this is really the only way
to do it... shrink the typeface. Can this be added to the list of fonts?
It is possible to configure xterm (I assume you meant xterm, not
vterm, since we don't have a program called vterm) to use whatever
fonts you wish for the five fonts available on the ctrl-right-button
menu. Furthermore, it is possible to select new fonts to use in
real-time by using the "Selection" option on that menu and placing a
font name as the current X selection before selecting that menu
option.
For more information about how to do this, please consult our
consultants (by calling them at x3-4435, or by stopping by the office
in room 11-115, or by using "olc"), and/or see the man pages for xterm
and xfontsel.
In the future, it would probably be a good idea to check with olc
before reporting something to "bugs".
