Changing Fonts on a UNIX Workstation
You can change fonts and colors for yourself or for all users of Site Manager on a
UNIX workstation.
The .Xdefaults file in your home directory defines the fonts and colors for your
Site Manager environment.
The XJam file defines Site Manager fonts and colors displayed in windows for all
users of Site Manager. On SPARCstations running OpenWindows, this file is in
the $OPENWINHOME/lib/app-defaults directory. On SPARCstations running
X11, and on HP 9000 and RS/6000 workstations, this file is in the
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory.
When changing a font or color, make sure that your system supports the new font
or color. Refer to the documentation that came with your system.
To change the font for your own use of Site Manager:
1. Add the following line to your .Xdefaults file, where font is the name of the
font you want:
XJam*fontList:
font
2.
Save the .Xdefaults file.
3. Enter the following command to reload the contents of the .Xdefaults file
on the X server:
xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
To change the font for all users of Site Manager on this workstation:
1. Open the XJam file.
2. Search for the following line:
XJam*fontList:8x13
3. Change 8x13 to the font you want.
4. Save the XJam file.
