Default font for OW2.0 - a summary

I received a number of responses to my question about how to change the
default font in Open Windows to a larger size. There are actually a
couple of ways of doing this.
1] To make the font used by just about everything in OW larger, add the
line
Window.scale: large
to your .Xdefaults file. Two notes here-the white space between the colon
and the large MUST be a TAB, not simply spaces. Second, you may
substitute extra_large for large and get a very large font. Large is
planty big for me, though.
2] To actually change the font used by OW (and not just its size), you can
add a line to .Xdefaults like so:
OpenWindows.font: fontname
Again, the white space between the colon and the font name is a TAB
character. Fonts available to be used can be found with the command
$OPENWINHOME/bin/xlsfonts.
Thanks for all the advice!
