Folks,
[Sorry, but my mailhost has been down ever since I first tried to
post this, and just got my SS2/GX set up as the new mailhost. -BK]
Sorry it took so long, but I've gotten real busy lately.
I have decided not to summarize the comments I got on the bugs I
mentioned -- most said ``nope, never seen 'em'', while some said ``yup, I
can duplicate the problems you have, but don't have any solutions for
you'', and a few suggested using xterm to fix these problems.
The summaries below are just for the topic of getting larger fonts on
screen. Many people said ``change your .openwin-menu file to include
sizes on the command-line arguments to shelltool and cmdtool'', others
suggested ``change the command-line arguments shown in .openwin-init'',
some suggested using xterm to fix these problems too, and a few suggested
changes I could make in .Xdefaults for setting my window.scale variable.
I wanted a general solution like the latter, but all the ones I tried
didn't work for me.
Torsten Metzner (<tom@uni-paderborn.de>) has made comments below that
lead me to believe that I am not the only one who cannot make global
changes in .Xdefaults work for the changing of fonts.
I ended up taking the suggestion of Gus Teshke
<Gus.Teschke@med.umich.edu> -- create a few cmdtools and shelltools with
the single command line option of ``-scale large'' (or -scale extra_large,
if you prefer), then saving my workspace and letting the OpenWindows
software take care of the problem for me. This doesn't give me the
general solution I was looking for, but it does give me enough of what I
needed to get going without going blind.
I hope this helps someone else.

This is what I did to get larger fonts on screen.
In my .openwin-menu file:
#
# Root menu file for OpenWindows X11/NeWS
"Workspace" TITLE
"Shells" MENU
"Command Tool..." DEFAULT exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -font 9x15bold
"Color Command Tool..." exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -Wf 0 0 0 -Wb `rndrgb` -font
9x15bold
"Shell Tool..." exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/shelltool -font 9x15bold
"Remote Login" MENU
.
.
.
.
.
.
NOTE the use of the "-font" qualifier. The fonts are located in /usr/openwin/lib/fonts
Hope this helps your eyes !!

This one I can answer! Change your .openwin-menu and .openwin-init files to
include command line options for the utilities you wish to launch, e.g., for
.openwin-init, you might have something like . . .
cmdtool -Wp 0 129 -Ws 861 698 -WP 1006 230 +Wi -Wt
-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1 &
. . . and for .openwin-menu . . .
"Command Tool..." DEFAULT exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -Wt
-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
I suggest experimenting with the available fonts (xlsfonts) to find something
you like. Fire off a cmdtool with likly candidates and try it out. Caution:
I found that the following are necessary for some pop-ups (e.g., 'find'):
-sun-open look glyph-----10-100-75-75-p-106-sunolglyph-1
-sun-open look glyph-----12-120-75-75-p-116-sunolglyph-1
-sun-open look glyph-----14-140-75-75-p-136-sunolglyph-1
-sun-open look glyph-----19-190-75-75-p-163-sunolglyph-1
These are used automatically, and, if you pick a cmdtool font which isn't of
the correct point size, your cmdtool may abort. The 10, 12, 14, and 19 in the
above are the font sizes.
Another way to explore fonts is with the program xfontsel from the X distribution.

To get different fonts, or different sized windows look at "cmdtool -h"
output. I have never seen it in a manual, but you will get a whole screen
of options, see "-scale" and "-font", I think the scale option will do it
for you. Change these in your Openwindows menu, so that every time you
pick the cmdtool menu, you will get the size you want (.openwin-menu file).
Also set your .openwin.init file to start up the cmdtools like you want them.
I use color options (-fg and -bg) in the above mentioned files so I can use
the colors I like.
I can't remeber if you mentioned it, but "man xview" also gives nice info.
Good Luck!

The font question is documented in the man page for xview (Don't ask me why it's there, but it is). They don't come out and say what the values are, but the method is descibed.
For a list of the fonts available to you, type 'xlsfonts | more'. Don't forget the more as in most X11 environments there are over 100 fonts in the list.

Brad,
Try typing
$OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/shelltool -h or $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -h
you will get a list of command line arguments that you can use, which includes how to change the font size and type.
eg., $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/shelltool -font courier-bold-18 &
By the way, you can use '$OPENWINHOME/bin/xfd -fn "font-name"' to decide which font you like to use. In addition, check out some of the supplied template in $OPENWINHOME/lib. eg., Openwin-menu, Xdefaults, etc...
Have fun!!

Finally, I have been racking my brains trying to find where I can change the default font used by OpenWindows for the cdmtool and shelltool windows. The font used is so tiny on my 16" monitor that I am going blind, and I can't find where to change this! I've read the man page on olwm and OpenWindows, and although I can find out how to change just about everything else (like the background screen color, or put up a color picture as my background, change the glyph and icon fonts, etc...), I can't find where to change the default font! If the answer is RTFM, would someone please point me to the correct place in TFM?!?
You might want to try using the xterm window instead of the command tool window. The xterm seems to work far better for me then the command tool. You can find it in $openwin/demo/xterm. If you use the xterm then the font size and style can be controlled with a -font flag on the command line (and fron the xdefaults file).
Hope this helps, Peter Gutmann peterg@murphy.com

I don't know about the bugs, but I fixed the fonts.
First, look in the Deskset reference (I don't have the page number I am trying to do this from memory) for the man pages for cmdtool and shelltool. Both of these programs take an optional parameter "-fn" or "-font" followed by the font name.
A list of available fonts if obtainable from:
$OPENWINHOME/bin/xlsfonts (it might be in bin/xview)
The other think to look at is in the .openwin-init (or one of the .openwin files). You can add onto the end of the olwm startup line a parameter of the form:
-scale extra_large
This is in the man pages in the Openwindows deskset reference as well. If you don't find it, I'll send you the exact formats monday when I get back to work.

The line Window.Scale: large
in your .Xdefaults file should give you something readable. I assume, though I've not tried it that you can put a Window.Font line in too to actually set an expicit font.

RTFM!
The logical place to start is the manual page for cmdtool or shelltool. This is because, these are the applications you are trying to change, NOT olwm! I just started with cmdtool.
CMDTOOL(1) ... [generic-tool-arguments] cmdtool accepts the generic tool arguments listed in xview(1).
The manual page for cmdtool refers you to the manual page for xview to find out the "generic tool arguments". The manual page for xview actually gives the description of a couple of ways to set the font of an application at start up time.
XVIEW(1) ... Argument(s): -Wx, or -scale Example: cmdtool -scale extra_large ... Argument(s): -Wt, -fn, or -font Example: cmdtool -fn fixed
xview(1) also tells you how to set up your .Xdefaults file so that you do not even have to supply an argument on the command line.

Brad, I can help with one problem: to get a larger font in a cmdtool window, I typed this in the console window:
cmdtool -scale extra_large &
After making a few of them, I saved the workspace. Then I returned the seeing-eye dog.
Good luck with the other problems.

You just have to create a .xdefaults file with the entry: window.scale: large If this is not big enough, extra large can also be specified. Bye! Diane

In my opinion you can't change the default font in your .Xdefaults file, global. But you can change the font for every single cmdtool or shelltool. See the -Wt option on page 264 of your DeskSet Environment Reference Guide. For example put the following line in your .openwin-init file:
cmdtool -Wp 0 145 -Ws 1142 724 -WP 195 76 -Wl "big" +Wi -Wt /usr/lib/fonts/fixe dwidthfonts/cour.b.24 &
And if you modify your OLWM_Menu, it's no Problem to get the right font for every cmdtool ( shelltool ) you start from there.
For example put the following lines in your .openwin-menu file:
"Shells" MENU "cmdtool" DEFAULT exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -Wt /usr/lib/font s/fixedwidthfonts/cour.b.24 & "shelltool" DEFAULT exec $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview/cmdtool -Wt /usr/lib/fo nts/fixedwidthfonts/cour.b.24 & "Shells" END PIN
I hope this will help you !
Greetings,
Torsten.
