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).

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
