Hi Jon,

EDM does not explicitly specify fonts for the normal windows and menus. To get the font you desire, do the following:

1) Choose a font
    - do xlsfonts to get a list of possibilites
- for this example, suppose you choose -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1

2) Edit .Xresources in your home directory and add a line that reads

    edm*fontList: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-*-*

3) Load the X resources with one of the following command:

xrdb ~/.Xresources (this discards existing resources)

    xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources        (this keeps existing resources)

4) run edm

    The menu font should now be fairly large.

You will have to include the xrdb command in some login file (e.g. .bashrc).

Best regards,
John Sinclair

In EDM, is there some way to make the menu larger, that appears when
you click on a menu button?  It is easy in EDM to set the size of the
menu button and its text, but the menu (and its text) that appears
when we click the button is always the same size - which is
uncomfortably small on our 1680 x 1050 displays.

Likewise, the text editing widget that appears when we click on an
editable text control is also too small - we would like to
enlarge that too.
