Both of those "rxvt -e" are unnecessary.  Neither icewm nor
opera need an xterm to run it.  They both run directly from X.

Nope.  You can see exactly what I chose for BL3 by looking in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.  BTW, the fonts I have in the misc
directory are not the fonts that Slackware puts in the misc
directory.

I think you are confusing truetype with scalable.
Slackware provides scalable fonts, not truetype.

Why would you want to do that when a nice big font takes
just 2.7 kb of space?
