I tried the Mintty font chooser. Unfortunately, the Monospace font is not p= roposed. However, the Fixedsys font is proposed, which is OK for me (my feeling is t= hat the Lucida Console is too thin and the Lucida Console-bold is not nice). I agree that Mintty is great. I just regret that the middle-mouse paste doe= s not work (ctrl-insert/shift insert instead).

I don't know the answer to your question, but have you tried using mintty instead of rxvt? Mintty has an options dialog which includes a font chooser, and is better all around than rxvt. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
