taking 15 years off isn't doing anything for me

[felis at Safe-mail.net]

hi Tony,

thank you for helping me out. I've found a .nedit home directory and could apply some changes to the nedit.rc there, although i suspect it will be replaced with preferences from within Nedit. So i can change properties. 
The remaining problem though is the menu font size which is absolutely impossibly big. I've tried to find anything on menu font size adjustments for fc5 openmotif 2.3.0 but can't find something sensible. Do you know where one can adjust the way fc5 uses a 'standard' font size (i presume openmotif Nedit uses a sort of centrally adaptable font specification taken from the system). Or how does this work for Nedit?

Thanks again
felis
