Re: changing xterm font for 132 column mode

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried this patch, and I don't like it.

It causes xt5250 to start up with a different font than usual, which I
don't like as much.   

If I use the standard xterm ctrl-rightclick to change my font size back to
something that I like, it only stays that way until the next time I switch
to 132 col mode.

I think its a really bad idea to use a hard-coded font size & name inside
cursesterm.  Instead, why don't we make this an option that can be set
in your configuration?
