Is there any way how to change default size of xfterm4 window? I've found somewhere, that it supposes to work this way:

Code:

xfterm4 --geometry=110x40+200+40


I'm not sure about number behind 110x40.. but I've tried it with few combinations and no success.

The last two numbers place where the terminal should start, the first two what size it should have. That option should start a terminal that's 110 pixels wide and 40 pixels tall and should place it 200 pixels right of the left edge of the monitor and 40 pixels down from the top edge. I can't access my own computer at the moment due to vacation, but that looks right to me. You could try messing with the font rather than the window size, it usually looks better.
