Ho can I do this?
For the others windows I use the file
nrn.def, but for the shell?
thanks

Under UNIX or Linux, this is controlled by the OS's window manager--refer to your OS's
documentation. Under MSWin, the interpreter's window is actually a cygwin xterm, but
NEURON only includes a stripped-down version of cygwin so I'd be surprised if it was
possible to change font size. I have no idea how to change the font size of the xterm in
OS X.

For mswin, use a "-fn 20" argument pair when launching the rxvt terminal.
For nrngui you do this in the
c:/nrn58/lib/neuron.sh script.

I am not expert of script programming, this is
neuron.sh, how can I change this file?
Thanks in advance :)
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
N="`$1/bin/cygpath -u $1`"
export N
shift
PATH=$N/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
export PATH
SH_PATH=$N/bin/sh
export SH_PATH
#rxvt -sl 1000 -e nrniv $*
#the following indirection is to avoid the terminal from closing
#when neuron exits immediately because of a bad dll so you get a chance
#to see the error message.
rxvt -sl 1000 -e sh $N/lib/neuron2.sh $*

Try changing the last line to this
Code: Select all
rxvt -sl 1000 -e sh $N/lib/neuron2.sh -fn 20 $*

Rearranging Ted's arguments a bit I get the desired result:
rxvt -fn 20 -sl 1000 -e sh $N/lib/neuron2.sh $*
If under cygwin (full not the dressed down version included with neuron) you start a xwindow session you can get an overview of candidate fonts by using the xlsfonts command.
