More Sun font stuff

[Jim Harkins]

I'm the one who posted some questions last week on suns.  My first was on
displaying all possible fonts on the screen at a time without logging
in and out.  Lots of people suggested 'suntools -Wt fontname'.  One nice
soul suggested I write a foreach(all fonts) loop to spawn these windows.
Great idea, lousy implementation.  After about 10 windows I started getting
lots of messages in my console window, which was nicely hidden by then.  Before
I could do anything my Sun hung.  Dead.  Windows all over the screen and
tantalizing fragments of messages in what I could see of the console window.
Waited an hour for our system administer to come in fix it.  (did you know
there was a control-alt-delete for suns?  there is).

Evidently, I wasn't clear in my second question.  I mentioned that out of 3
Suns, two have readable default system fonts and the third has a dinky one.  I
thought that as I had mentioned displaying all fonts on the screen, logging
in/out to change them, etc, it would be clear what I meant by default system
font.  The system font is what the prompt I see right after booting the system
is displayed in.  It says simply 'login:'.  In real small letters.  Changing
~suntools and ~defaults only changes my font after I've logged in.

So, I re-phrase my second question.  How do I change the default system
font? (you know, the one you see when nobody is logged in).  I know how
to change my font.  The problem is we haven't figured out how to change the
font size in our CASE tool, and the small font gets irritating real fast.
Hopefully changing the system font will change the CASE font as well.

One person mentioned we had a high resolution monitor on the third Sun.
Looking at it, this is probably true.  So how do I tell it to show me
stuff in bigger letters?

thanks in advance

PS.  Reading this article it sounds sarcastic or patronizing.  It wasn't
	meant to be.  But I would rather go home now that re-phrase it.  Sorry.
