RE: problem with gnome-terminal

["Winston Gutkowski" <winston gutkowski eztext com>]

Thanks Telsa, you're absolutely right, it is ~/.gnome/Terminal. I worked it
out for myself when I tried to find any file in the .gnome* directories with
the word "font" in it. Just in case anyone else has the same problem I did,
you can solve it by removing everything after "font=" on the line and
re-saving the file. It then seems to revert to a safe default font and you
can open the wondow again.

Haven't tried this. But you will have a ~/.gnome/Terminal file in
your home directory, and that contains a line for the font (among
several other lines). You can edit that file directly. I have
done this in the past. I have also messed up doing it. But rather
than edit it, I'd think you could try just moving that file so
Gnome doesn't see it. With luck, it will get recreated with default
settings. Perhaps?

I have never used Cygwin so don't know how that will affect things.
