The "F" item in the MacX "Edit" menu, or Command-F, brings up the Font
Director dialog box. Font Director lets you see a sample of the typeface
without having to run font clients or type commands with long and cryptic
font names. Font Director also lets you sort fonts in various ways, assign
aliases to font names, and compile fonts from Bitmap Distribution Format
(BDF) files.
To use this command, tell the DECterm client which font to use in the
window. Specify a font in the remote command to invoke the X client
(DECterm in your case). This is similar to the "-fn" option when you
invoke "xterm" in UNIX.
The command to invoke DECterm is CREATE/TERMINAL. To specify which font to
be used in the window, use the /WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=(keyword [,...])
qualifier. The keyword is FONT for this case. Example:
create/terminal/window=(rows=24,columns=75,font=timR24)/
application_keypad/insert/line_editing/detached
The above command creates a DECterm window using X font alias timR24. Note
that you can abbreviate the VMS qualifier so the command string doesn't
exceed the 255 character limit.
