I want to increase the font size of a single X application which doesn't seem to have an Xresource for fonts and faces. How might I go about doing this?
(Ironically, the applications for which I want to increase the font size of are editres and xfontsel. I'm using this to configure a high-resolution display.)
Links and approaches tried
appres can be used to list Xresources that can be set for an application. But the output for editres contains no mention of font or face- Arch wiki discusses high resolution displays
- Some applications have Xresources for font settings
This question discusses scaling an X application. The approaches there don't apply to my case.

Both of those use the X toolkit (as noted in their manual pages), which means they also recognize its command-line options such as -fn (font). In a quick check, I was able to run those with the 10x20 font.
editres -fn 10x20
xfontsel -fn 10x20
There is a summary of the options in X(7).

Nice. These seem to accept any x font (xlsfonts) including scalable fonts:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--$PXSIZE-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1
