I figure I should post a summary before too many people reply to my
message...
About 1 hour ago, I sent a message asking if someone knew how to
create a new window with a larger font. Half an hour later, Tom Tonroy
(trc@ESD.3Com.COM) answered back!!!
Thanks Tom!
"shelltool -Wt /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts/font_name" where font_name is
the name of a font in /usr/lib/fonts/fixedwidthfonts.
solves my problem.
