fonts and X11

[Moloney, Gerard]

Hi:

Is there a simple (i.e lazy person's) way of setting fonts for applications
in X.

At the minute, I'm setting up each application individually which is
tiresome.

Basically, I am primarily using a laptop (800*600 resolution) to view
postscript output from
a music notation program, abcplus in Ghostview and some of the stave lines
are somewhat fuzzy with the default.
(Setting up the graphics and sound generally on a laptop can be a pain, but
FreeBSD is a lot better than Linux in these areas)

I don't have any desktop installed and don't wish to have one due to memory
constraints.

Has anyone any tips? Is there a variable that I can set to provide a
default?

Cheers Ged Moloney.

P.S If anyone is looking for a brilliant and fully documented notation
program, then ABCplus is just what you need.
