I wish I could have found the reference in the help system, but I
couldn't. Anyway, putting a line in your .Xdefaults file in your home
directory will do the trick for you. I keep all these around, only the
first one, the one without the '!' at the front will be used. Please
forgive the wraparound on two of these lines, they should be on one
line each.
Idl*fontList: -*-fixed-bold-*-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
!Idl*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-10-100-*-*-*-*-*
!Idl*fontList: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
!Idl*fontList: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
!Idl*fontList:
-misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859- 1
!Idl*fontList:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8 859-1
!Idl*fontList:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--12-90-100-100-c-60-iso88 59-1
!Idl*fontList: -sgi-screen-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-70--ascii
!Idl*fontList: -sgi-screen-bold-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-80--ascii
Also, you might not have all of these fonts on your system. You might
find one you like using:
IDL> print, xfont()
then copy and paste the result into an Idl*fontlist: line.
Cheers,
