If the largest font is still too small for you or you want to change default font size, you may edit /mnt/us/extensions/xterm/layouts/Xresources file. Relevant section is: Code:
XTerm.VT100.font: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.boldFont: -*-terminus-bold-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font1: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font2: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font3: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font4: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font5: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--22-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* XTerm.VT100.font6: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* Fonts 1 to 6 are described in the font menu, starting from "unreadable" up to "huge". For example, to change a font size to 32 points, enter: Code:
-*-terminus-medium-r-normal--32-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* |

Special characters
First of all, thanks for making this, together with the extend package it's gonna be very useful to me.
I see you have included in the keyboard letters for other languages (the keys labeled ã/F and Ã/£) for which I'm grateful, but I'm not able to make them work. The keys will blink when pressed, but nothing appears on screen. Those are some relevant environment variables on my kindle: Code:
LANG=es_ES.utf8 LC_ALL=es_ES.utf8 XTERM_LOCALE=C As it is, the app is of great usefulness to me if only to "vi /mnt/us/whatever.txt" and take notes (I'm confortable with vi), but if I could input the needed characters to properly spell my language, it would be, well, more useful TIA. |

@atordo
Thanks for using this app and reporting this bug! I am aware of it, but I need time to dig and properly resolve this issue. For now I made a simple workaround which should satisfy you. Please download new version. To make accented letters work properly, please select "UTF-8 Encoding" from Fonts menu (accessed by pressing <ALT> 3). This is quick hack and still buggy. You will notice for example that first press of accented letter will fail, but afterwards it should work. I will not have more time to improve it now, as I will be away from my computer and kindle until september |

Thanks baf, it worked for me at the first try
When editing with vi the chars are replaced with "..", but displayed correctly with cat, so that's an issue with the vi bundled with the kindle. Have a nice computer detox summer |

You should keep all your files on /mnt/us (the USB drive partition), and only add tiny symlinks to root that point to the files on /mnt/us. Using space on the main partition can cause OTA firmware updates to fail, possibly bricking your kindle. |

Like I said, you should put your files on /mnt/us. In my case, I put "nano" and other stuff in /mnt/us/bin. Then in /bin I created symlinks to the files in /mnt/us/bin. It works well and uses almost no space on the root partition. Like knc1 said /usr/local/bin is not a safe place to store stuff (not even symlinks).

thx
ok, thank you for your help, now it's all clear.
Last question: is it possible to have a compiled version of gcc? (oh, btw, how can i change the PATH permanently so that every time i login my PATH contains also /mnt/us/bin ?) |

The resource pool contains just about any (x86 or x64_86) tool chain binary you might need. |

You can build gcc from source if you want to, but it is a LOT easier to use a prebuilt toolchain, like those suggested by knc1. Also, check out the tinycc (tcc) thread in the tools index, very handy for on-kindle testing and debugging.

Symlinks are the way forward

Similarly the "home" construct could be managed in this way (although there are more issues around it so frankly I didn't bother.) It far less painful to replace a symbolic link than lose your binaries. : ) |

"Symlinks are the way forward" for new files. But to CHANGE an existing file, it is better to temporarily bind mount to a modified copy on /mnt/us (like I did with the tccmake script to "repair" lib loader scripts not compatible with tcc).
