This is a response to an old old question,  but if some newbie to pdaxrom does a search,  this will come up and it deserves an answer.  Sorry, can't help with the SECOND part of the question.

This is just a quick and dirty answer. How to change to a bigger font in Aterm:

Just go to /home or /home/root and find the .Xdefaults file. Copy the current file to a safe place or rename it to .Xdefaultsold and create a new empty .Xdefaults file in the same location. Paste the following code into the file and save.  If you want a larger font,  change the 160 to 180.  You can change transparent to "false" or change color of the foreground to green if you want a green font.

Code: [Select]

aterm*loginShell:true
  aterm*transparent:true
  aterm*shading:60
  aterm*background:Black
  aterm*foreground:White
  aterm*scrollBar:true
  aterm*scrollBar_right:true
  aterm*transpscrollbar:true
  aterm*saveLines:32767
  aterm*font:*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-160-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
  aterm*boldFont:*-*-fixed-bold-r-normal--*-*-160-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Hope this helps someone.
