Same as under any other window manager... put the mouse over the
window, hold down alt, right-click and drag till you like it. In Xterm
you can easily change the font size by holding down control and right
clicking on it.

Long Story short... this happens when the gettext got updated... I am
guessing you cvsuped and then did a portupgrade -a or something... You
can fix this quickly by finding the libintl.so.6, iirc the newest one,
and create a sym link pointing to it from libintl.so.5... or you could
recompile all apps that depend on it by doing a portupgrade -rRf
gettext...

What is the error?
