fc-list results in many fonts being listed but no Monospace!
"Times" is in the list. I tried:
xterm -fn "Times"
xterm -fn "Times-12"
xterm -fa "Times"
xterm -fa "Times-12"
Always the same result with the same default font.
Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which
is not the default?
That would give a track before going in the details of unix fonts
literature.
Thank you for your help.
