Hi Larry,
you're right, the ADSM GUI should honor the -fn flag, just as it does with the
other "standard" X flags (e.g. -bg and -fg are already honored today). This
may get fixed in an upcoming release.
However, for now you can use the work-around of using X resources to set the
font the GUI should use. Try invoking the GUI like this:
dsm -xrm '*fontList: fixed'
This lets the GUI come up with the font "fixed" being used for all panels. To
use another font, simply replace "fixed" with that font's name (the command
"xlsfonts" gives a list of fonts available on your system).
Alternatively, you can put a line like "dsm*fontList: fixed" into your
.Xdefaults file ("dsm" is the GUI's X class name), and source this file using
"xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults". This sets the default font to be used for all dsm
sessions.
Cheers,
Christian
