Operating Systems AIX how to change the font size of shell in $ prompt Post 302263026 by bakunin on Sunday 30th of November 2008 09:19:09 AM

First you have to find out what type your terminal is. Issue "echo $TERM" and if it is

vt100, vt200, ansi or the like

you have to change the font in the terminal emulation software you use (putty, hyperterm, whatever).


xterm or aixterm

right-click into the window while you hold down the ALT-key (or the CTRL-key? not sure, just try) and select a different size from the upcoming menu. To change the fonts selected by the menu entries (if you do not like them altogether) enter the appropriate X-resource string into your "$HOME/.Xdefaults" file.

Here is an example, which will add a font with german diacriticals ("Umlauts") to the XTerm font menu and label it "ISO8859-Charset":

Code:
XTerm*VT100*font1: -ibm--medium-r-medium--20-14-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
XTerm*fontMenu*font1*Label:   ISO8859-Charset


dtterm

simply select "Options" from the menu. To make the change lasting change the preferences of CDE.

I hope this helps.

   Character Set Designation
       The graphic characters of ISO 8859-8 constitute a single coded character set. However, when this character set is implemented together with
       other  coding  standards,  such as ISO 2022 or ISO 4873, the code table of this part of ISO 8859-8 is considered to be the following compo-
       nents: The character SPACE, represented by the bit combination 20(hex) A 94-character G0 graphic character set, represented by the bit com-
       binations 21 to 7E(hex) A 96-character G1 graphic character set, represented by the bit combinations A0 to FF(hex)

       For information on the G0 and G1 character set designations, refer to iso2022(5).

       When required by other coding standards, for example ISO 2022 or ISO 4873, the following pair of escape sequences are used to designate the
       G0 and the G1 sets, respectively:

       ESC 28 42 or ESC ( B ESC 2D 41 or ESC - H

       According to ISO 2022, the character SPACE does not require designation.
