How to change urxvt font size in Slacko?

[chinklx]

How can one change the font size in the urxvt terminal?
Need precise instructions as I'm a beginner to Linux.
I need bigger fonts.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum chinklx.

This isn't taken form slacko, so may be different.

The is code in the file /root/.Xdefaults If not in the .Xdefaults, try the .Xresources file. (Note: these are hidden files.)

Code: Select all

! fonts
! run "fc-list" for a list of available fonts
urxvt.font: xft:Nimbus Mono L:style=Regular:pixelsize=14

Change to font size here.


Edit: You will have to restart the X server for the change to be applied.
Menu > Shutdown > Restart X (or similar)

Not sure if Slacko has this, but it should.

In a terminal

Code: Select all

urxvtcontrol

Press enter

Best to keep borderless and transparency turned off.
