1.3.13 XToolkit Options and Changing Display Fonts
The GUI commands support the following subset of the HP-UX XToolkit command line options:
• -bgor -background
• -fgor -foreground
• -display
• -name
• -xrm
Note that the SD-UX commands do not support the XToolkit -fn or the -font option used to
change display fonts.
SD-UX commands do, however, recognize most Motif™ standard resources when running in the
X11/Motif environment, plus the following additional resources:
*systemFont Specifies the variable-width font used in the GUI menu bars and other areas
where a variable width font is applicable. The default size is 8x13.
*userFont Specifies the fixed-width font used in all other GUI displays. This font should be
the same basic size as the *systemFont only in the fixed width style. The
default size is also 8x13.
Here is an example of how to change the size of your fixed width font from 8x13 to 6x13:
swinstall -xrm ’Swinstall*userFont: user6x13’
Here is how to change the variable width font style to 12 point HP Roman 8:
swinstall -xrm ’Swinstall*systemFont: \
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal12-120-75-75-m-70-hp-roman8’
You can also modify the defaults file (in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults) for each command
with a Graphical User Interface so that a resource will be set each time you invoke a specific
command. Here is an example of an app-defaults file for swremove:
swremove app-defaults
Swremove*foreground: red
Swremove*background: white
Swremove*userFont: hp8.8x16b
Swremove*systemFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal12-120-75-75-m-70-hp-roman8
1.4 Working from the Command Line
You can invoke all SD-UX commands non-interactively via the command line. This section provides
reference information about command-line features available across most of the commands.
