Hi,

Don't ask me what all this means, but:
nedit -font -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-*
... sets my NEdit font to courier medium, 18-points.

I opened my $HOME/.nedit/nedit.rc file; somewhere at the bottom were some font specifications. I simply copied them and used them for the -font argument. Modify to your needs...

Regards,
Matthijs

Subject: how to set font from command line?

how do you set the nedit font to, say, adobe medium 12 point, from the 
command line? no doubt it's with '-font', but i can find nothing in 
the doc's or googling that tells the exact syntax of the arguments 
to '-font'.
