How to change the default font size in X11?

I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).  
The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
Thank you very much in advance.

You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.

  • How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

    Hi champs,
    Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
    If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
    If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

  • How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 ?

    How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 , for this >>
    http://store2.up-00.com/Mar11/AJG18655.png << ?

    Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:
    http://screencast.com/t/ZTgzOTM3Y
    Then right click bring up this menu while inside active field and click on item with arrrow:
    http://screencast.com/t/ZTRjMWRkMzk
    Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
    we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
    We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
    Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
    I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
    A. Your advice is incorrect
    B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
    I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.

  • How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview Annotation Note ?

    How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?
    Thanks for any help guys. Noteworthy is horrible, in my view. But this does not matter. I simply do not want to use it, and woudl be fine with having helvetica back as the annotation typeface.
    Neither is Preview responding to changes I attempt in the type menu, nor did I find an entry when using “defaults read com.apple.Preview” in the Terminal.
    Any idea? Cheers.

    Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:
    I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).

  • Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

    I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?

    You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

  • How to change the default library size...

    I have a PowerMac G4 with 1.25ghz and 1.25gig memory. I also have about 7500 photos, a total of about 10 gig, with about 1/3 taken with a Nikon D70. As you might guess, iPhoto (and only iPhoto) is really slow to open and close...I get the beachball for a minute or so before anything happens.
    In reading topics surrounding the slowness of loading/closing iPhoto, one person suggested changing the default size of the iPhoto library...but they didn't say how? I'm assuming that this changes it so that the system doesn't need to show the whole library? This isn't just viewing the pictures as large pictures instead of thumbnails is it?
    Any help would be appreciated....also, if there is another solution I'd love to hear about it.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thomas:
    As you've read the problem comes from your Nikon camera and the MakerNotes it creates and adds to each image file. I believe you're referring to splitting up your library into smaller sub libraries. That can be done by making a duplicate of your current library, call it Lib1. Then open Lib1 with iPhoto and delete all the photos but those you want in that particular library. Make another duplicate of the original library, Lib2, and repeat the process. That way you'll have multiple smaller libraries that you can manage with either iPhoto Buddy or iPhoto Library Manager.
    Eric Lindsay developed applescripts to remove the MakerNote information from the Library.iPhoto file which gets the speed back up to what it should be. However, any new imports from the Nikon will add MakerNotes.

  • Change the default stack size in the java.exe file

    Does anyone know how to change the default stack size of the jvm?
    I'm having problems with my stack. Is there anyway I can change it. I found a tool editbin.exe which is shipped with Visual c++, however I don't have the tool.
    Thanks,
    William

    I am using JNI to connect java with a C++ application.
    When calling the C++ appliction, STACK_OVERFLOW
    happends. I tried java -Xss<size> to increase the
    stack size, but failed.This has nothing to do with the above question.
    Does anyone knows why?Probably because the java parameter specifies the java stack size and not the C++ stack size.

  • Changing the default font in Keynote '09

    Can anyone please tell me how to change the default font in Keynote '09 masterslides to the one of my choice? I can't seem to do it by following the suggestions in Help.

    In a given theme, the default fonts are defined in a file whose complete pathname resemble to this one:
    Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Keynote.app:Contents:Resources:
    Themes:Black_8x6.kth:Contents:Resources:French.lproj:fontsAndText.strings
    Here is the path for the theme named "Black_8x6.kth" in its French version.
    The file contents is:
    "STYLESeries2" = "Series_2";
    "STYLE_None" = "Aucun";
    "STYLESeries5" = "Series_5";
    "STYLESeries3" = "Series_3";
    "FONT_LucidaGrande" = "LucidaGrande";
    "FONT_Helvetica" = "Helvetica";
    "STYLE_Free Form" = "Format libre";
    "STYLESeries1" = "Series_1";
    "FONT_GillSans" = "GillSans";

    "STYLESeries0" = "Series_0";
    "FONT_MarkerFelt-Thin" = "MarkerFelt-Thin";
    "STYLESeries4" = "Series_4";
    If you edit the underlined font names you will change the default fonts accordingly.

  • How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

    In an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the size of the Mailbox font used in the left sidebar to view more content in the column, but I don't remember what I did to change it.  The Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors pane no longer has a Mailbox font option.
    Does anyone know how to change the Mail sidebar font size in Lion?

    I'm not sure what you're responding to.  Bob H. above pointed out a clear bug in changing the Mail list font when he went to Mail/Preferences/Fonts &amp; Colors and changed the font setting for the Mail list (second column), and it didn't work. 
    My issue was the font size in the first column (sidebar), which is not controlled in the Mail app, but by going to System Preferences/General and checking the box for changing the sidebar font size.  This checkbox also controls the font size for Finder (Desktop) windows sidebars (left column), where hard drives, other volumes, user Documents folders, and the like are listed.  This does work perfectly for me. 
    I have no other suggestions for you, except for perhaps trying removing the com.apple.finder.plist file located in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, which you can access by holding down the option key while selecting the Go menu at the top of the screen.  This controls the Finder window settings you have previously selected, and may be corrupted.  Simply move it to the Desktop for temporary safekeeping, then if it simply copied it, vice moving it out of the folder, right click on the file in the folder to move it to the Trash (you may have to authenticate).  This will force the Finder to recreate a default version of the file, which you can then remodify to your liking.  If that works, Trash the copy you moved to the Desktop.  If not, put it back in the folder to restore your prior settings.
    Good luck.

  • How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

    I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
    NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that  was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
    Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
    I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

    Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
    Settings for all 3:
    72psi, 150psi and 300psi
    Rulers Visable
    Times New Roman
    12pt
    14.4pt
    I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
    One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

  • How do I change the default font in Comments?

    I'm a professor and I grade papers with the Pages' Comments feature. I would like to change the default font and font size for Comments when doing Tracking so that my comments consistently use the same font and font size no matter what font the student has used in their paper. The only way I can do that now is to change each individual comment. Is there a way to do that globally? Thanks!

    I apologize but I know that this question was asked and answered several times (I wrote the answers).

  • How can I change the default font for the Text Tool in CS5?

    Does anyone know of a SIMPLE way to change the default font in CS 5. I can't believe how difficult Adobe makes this. I have spent numerous time on the internet trying to solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Thanks Charles, I'm not sure where preferences are, I wish photoshop would
    look at this, there should be a simple way to set font preferences. Perhaps
    CS 7 will offer a solution. Thanks for your help

  • How do you change the default font in indesign cs3 on a mac?

    Hi, I have tried closing all indesign docs and then changing the font in the font menu to helvetica (from times), then opening a new document and it still gives me [Times (TT)] when i draw a new text box and write something in it.
    I have tried quitting indesign and reopening it and its still the old default font of [Times (TT)] - which is also not an available font on my machine.
    I have also changed my basic paragraph style to helvetica from times, and it still doesnt change the default font when i open a new document.
    When i open a new document in indesign it comes up with helvetica in the character pallet as the font, its just when i go to draw a text box and write something in it that it writes it in Times.

    Is it possible you have more than one text frame object style, or that you have some default paragraph style set other than [Basic Paragraph]? If you are only editing Basic Paragraph and your default text frame is set to another syle, or you have another paragraph style selected when you begin typing, you might see this behavior.
    If not, try resetting your preferences. Replacing InDesign Preferences
