Any way to get larger fonts with xconfig?
On my system they are just about microscopic.

I can do a <ctl><alt?<+> to go to a different screen resolution,
 but then I have all sorts of scanning to deal with.

Ive looked for documentation, but didnt find it in any of the
places I looked...

No automated way to do it AFAIK, but you can edit
~/.qt/qtrc and change this line (at least it works for me):

#font=Sans Serif,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
font=Sans Serif,14,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0

Changes from 10 point to 14 point font.

That or run "qtconfig", where you can change all the font properties in a GUI.
