Thanks, that works. Though the font is so small I can't read it.

I just googled this info, no idea if it works

xterm -fs 12

sets the font size to 12 point.

try keep pressing " Ctrl + Right Mouse-Button " in the xterm window,
then a menu pops up and you can adjust


--- Code: ---info xterm

--- End code ---
will give you all commandline options and infos  :P

Thanks.
I finally figured out xfontset and "xterm -font -*-*-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" did the trick. Man, is that an ugly parameter or "whut"? 8^}

I tried exo-open as a substitute for gnome-open. But it didn't fly.

Also fingured out that you can keep the .cbp path of a project in the snippets plugin, then drag it into the file manager window as a convenience when it rolls off the frequently used list.

andLinux does not seem to work at double clicking a .cbp file.

Found out that a colinux-daemon 99% cpu loop occurs when a program terminates, but the shell that started it does not return to the prompt. a simple ctrl-C cancels the shell and the loop exits ok.
But this means starting "./run.sh &" can get you into a loop that can only be stopped with "killall codeblocks".

But then, I can't complain too much. I find andLinux extreemly useful. andLinux is very nice to use in a stripped down "chop shop" kind of way.
In fact, I've bought more memory just so I can run it without it being swapped out each time I switch to another memory pig (read as Firefox).

Thanks everyone for the help.

To add truetype fonts to andLinux (and therby CodeBlocks), copy the font from \windows\fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/{somedir}; then run

--- Code: ---dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

--- End code ---

eg., for CourierNew
from windows, copy \windows\fonts\cour*.ttf \andLinux\Transfer
from andLinux

--- Code: ---cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
mkdir ttf-courier
cd ttf-courier
cp /mnt/and/Transfer/*.ttf .
su
dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

--- End code ---

now you should be able to pick courier new in the CB font picker.
