To Specify Fonts within a Resource File

For example, to change the fonts for the dtterm command in a resource file:

  1. Edit the Dtterm resource file in the /usr/dt/app-defaults/language directory.

    You can use either the class name (Dtterm) or the application name (dtterm) for a resource file of Dtterm.

    Also, setting the LANG environment variable alters the search path of resource files to include the /usr/dt/app-defaults/language directory, where language is the locale name.

    After setting the LANG environment variable, the search path for resource files would include the following two folders:

    /usr/dt/app-defaults/language/Dtterm
    /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtterm
  2. Insert the font set you want to use at the bottom of the file.

    For example, to use a monospace font, put this line at the bottom of the file:

    dtterm -fn -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*
  3. Save the file.
