Can't figure how to get larger fonts in terminal
I am new and very happy to say I've got Arch/XFCE/nfs working on network and soon to work on Samba but how in the wide wide world of sports can I get larger font on my terminal when in XFCE?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I too have experienced the "agony of defeat" with fonts and xterm. Here is how I use to launch my xterm:
xterm -fa "andale:size=18" -bg black -fg white -geometry 80x25 -tn xterm-color -sl 1000
* The key is the "size" parameter after the font (fa)mily name. I was using True Type fonts and was using "andale" in this case. I believe the size field should be applicable to whichever font you choose. Alternatively, I believe you can pass the "-fs" option to xterm to accomplish the same thing as ":size".
For example,
xterm -fa "andale" -fs "18"
will accomplish the same text size as in the first example. Just try different font size (fs) values, and see which values will actually scale for that font.
One caveat, I believe the "fa" option for xterm is limited to the freetype library fonts.

I used to be able to see how many emails I had on my toolbar next to the envelope but now it doesn't show & I can't figure how to change it. Help!
That feature is not built into Firefox, in fact Firefox has no email features. Check your add-ons to see if any of them offer this feature.

I have turned highlighting CSS settings from the code off and can't figure how to get it back?
I have done this a few times and don't know how to get it back or even the right term to google so thats why I am here.
You know where you select a div name or bit of code and it shows you it's settings under the CSS Properties.
Well mine don't change so I take it I have turned off some setting....can anyone tell me what I did and how to turn it back on for future reference.
Thanks in advance.Thanks for that reply Jon...that was fast.
I have the CSS Properties set to current.
When I used to select each div the properties would show for each one....I found that a fast way of working.
When I select a different Div in the code it doesn't change the values to that div.
See how I have the div activemainnavigation selected in the code and yet the summary for selection still shows the CSS properties of the footercredits div. -
How to get Larger font on Thunderbolt 27 inch display
How do I increase the screen font when on monitor?
Because of the high resolution you cannot change the fixed fonts (the operating system fonts.) You can increase font sizes on the browser that you are using in the browser preferences or zoom by hitting command and the + sign.

I'm dumb, can't figure how to get playlist from itunes library into my itou
Ok, I have looked and looked and did search. I want to copy a few playlists from my itunes library into my itouch. I was told they would transfer when I synched, they didn't. Drag and drop does not do the job. What am I missing? I am sure something very very simple. HELP. I do NOT want to do the playlist again in my itouch from scratch, as I have almost 1,000 songs to search through.
There has got to be an easier way.katinak67 wrote:

"Synch" is the process whereby files get copied from the iTunes library to the iPod. If your playlists did not copy, what actually did happen when you synched? -

Effect
Sets or modifies the valid output format for list output statements (WRITE, ULINE).
The formats set by FORMAT are effective from the next output operation to the list, i.e. from the next WRITE command or from the next new line.
The addition ON for switching on the relevant output format is optional.
You can also set the static additions ON, OFF and n (for COLOR) dynamically with = var (for further information, see end of this documentation).

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.
You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr. If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.
Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop. Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn. Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

Can anyone help pls...I bought an audiobook on my iPhone. This has now disappeared (after I had to do a factory reset) and I can't figure how to retrieve - either to my laptop or phone, altho it is showing in my iTunes purchases. Tks
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so it won't show for re-downloading. If you haven't got a copy of it anywhere (if it's on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library) and it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I bought a steelseries 3gc game controller for my imac but can't figure how to download the driver. When I try to open, the essage is to open from an application. which one, I,ve tried some . any suggestions?
Solved: There is no driver to install. If the lights come on for your controller, the drivers have successfully been installed and the controller is ready for use. But before you can use it you must buy an app called "Joystick Mapper" from the Mac app store ($5). This will allow you to program the individual buttons' functions per the game you're playing. You will need to program multiple profiles if you plan on playing multiple games, as all games do not share the same button configuration. Also, you can clone game profiles. So if you're playing a shooter, for example, where the zoom and weapon fire buttons may be the same but there's a different button for grenades or secondary fire, you can tweak a few buttons instead of starting over from scratch.
