About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Change Default Font Size

The default command when using the session wizard is xterm which is a basic terminal emulator

Default font sizes are not directly controlled by X-Win32 but instead are command line options for xterms.

-fn font
This option specifies the font to be used for displaying normal text. The default is fixed.

-font font
This is the same as -fn.

For example /usr/bin/xterm -ls -fn 8×13 will increase the font size

See the xterm manual page (man xterm) for more font options

Font names can be found in \Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 ##\fonts\”font folder”\fonts.alias or fonts.dir

Alternatively, you can use a more advanced terminal emulator where you can change the fonts from menu options.

Typical terminal emulators are:

konsole (for kde desktops)
gnome-terminal (for Gnome desktops)
dtterm (for CDE desktops)
