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).
