Yes, I know. From my very own experiences. In the beginning of this
aging process it helps to increase the character size. But then, let
us say 5 years later, there is no other way but eye glases. ;-(

If you change the character size by a device command within your
start-up file, please let me warn you. Don't forget to do it for
*both* devices, the win- or x-device *and* the z-device. ;-)

Cheers, Heinz
