I now have a 4K-screen, and immediately some programs became unusable. Everything KDE just worked. URxvt and XTerm just needed an OpenType font specified instead of the old “fixed” one.<\/p>\n
Like this:<\/p>\n
xterm*faceName: Monospace\nxterm*faceSize: 10\n<\/pre>\nand this<\/p>\n
URxvt.font: xft:bitstream vera sans mono:size=14:antialias=true\nURxvt.boldFont: xft:bitstream vera sans mono:bold:size=14:antialias=true\n<\/pre>\nBut some were more elusive, most notably, because they’re badly documented on the net, and information is difficult to find because the motif-toolkit is very ancient. One of them is xpdf. Whose UI sported tiny fonts.<\/p>\n
But I managed to produce a somewhat decent .Xresources (either put them into .Xdefaults; or put them into .Xresources and merge in via xrdb -merge .Xresouces).<\/p>\n
The font really needs to be specified in the old fontList way, and I couldn’t find out how to make it use a modern OpenType font.<\/p>\n
The rest is mostly to turn off superfluous borders and heavy shadows.<\/p>\n

You can set this in .pdfrc, but this replaces it:<\/p>\n
