Text font changing not allowed.

I'm using Linux. When I try opening it with --hexfont blahblahblah, it doesn't work. It still remains with the same font. Also, I'm using the non-SDL mangband.

The --hexfont argument only works for SDL client. To change X11 fonts, you should use some arcane mechanism of setting ENV variables. I think they are called ANGBAND_X11_FONT or the like, and must refer to actual X11 fonts you have on your system... See main-x11.c (!) for details. I've never done this myself and am not eager to try, but it should work..

Sorry for late reply.
