setting sam's font

[Steve_Kilbane]

i've just upgraded (for want of a better word) to solaris 2.2, and this has
screwed the fonts being used by sam and 9term. 9term i can get round, by
putting "-font fixed" on the cmd line. but there doesn't seem to be a way
to persuade sam to explicitly grab another font. since i'm not in any way
an x hacker (for obvious reasons), i'm out of ideas. any suggestions?

setting sam's font

[Berry Kercheval]

I've had good luck putting

	samterm*font: fixed

in my X resources file, or by feeding that line into xrdb:

echo 'samterm*font: fixed' | xrdb -merge

(the '-merge' is important, as otherwise xrdb will assume you want to
set all your resources and helpfully delete everything else...)

Install a file called Sam in 
	/usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults

*width: 500
*height: 600
*font: screenpc
*scrollForwardR: false
*saveUnder:     true
*backingStore:  WhenMapped


Add your desired font name in there.

I use a modified version of Sun's screen-14 font.
