That's what I was thinking. I pretty much stick with a plain xterm,
but for that to be workable on a 22" 1080p LCD, I had to adjust font
sizes.

For example, from my ~/.Xdefaults-serenity file:

*customization: -color
xterm.RenderFont.renderFont: true
xterm*faceName: terminusbold
xterm*faceSize: 10

These settings don't impact anything outside of xterm, though.
