The default rxvt font size is too small. How do I enlarge it?
Open C:\MSYS\1.0\msys.bat with a text editor and search for a line containing “80×25”. Then replace it with: start rxvt -backspacekey ^H -sl 2500 -fg grey90 -bg black -sr -fn “Courier-bold-20” -tn msys -geometry 80×25 -e /bin/sh –login -i You can change the Courier font above with your favorite one. Note that using TrueType fonts (such as Courier New or Lucida Console) will result in sluggish performance under Windows XP.
