README

        
## Installation

1. Copy `resize-font` to where URxvt looks for Perl extensions, e.g:

   `$HOME/.urxvt/ext/`. For the exact path, see the urxvt(1) manual page on

   perl-lib.

2. In your `~/.Xresources` file, add `resize-font` to the

   `urxvt.perl-ext-common` setting so URxvt loads the extension, e.g:

        urxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed,matcher,resize-font,-tabbed

## Configuration

All configuration of `resize-font` is done in `~/.Xresources`.

_Note that this extension requires you to set your font size

through the `urxvt.font` property._

### Fonts

Default font sizes can be specified in pixels, using the `pixelsize` attribute,

e.g.:

    urxvt.font: xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=12

Or they can be given in points, using the `size` attribute, e.g.: 

    urxvt.font: xft:Inconsolata:size=12

Fixed fonts are also supported, for example:

    urxvt.font: 7x14

And, finally, XLFD/X logical font description is supported as well, e.g.:

    urxvt.font: -*-inconsolata-medium-*-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

### Keybindings

The default keybindings look like this:

    URxvt.keysym.C-minus:     resize-font:smaller

    URxvt.keysym.C-plus:      resize-font:bigger

    URxvt.keysym.C-equal:     resize-font:reset

    URxvt.keysym.C-question:  resize-font:show

Keybindings can be modified using the above syntax. For more information on how

to specify keys, see the description of the `keysym` resource in the urxvt(1)

manual page.

### Resize interval

You can also configure the number of steps to take when changing the font size:

    URxvt.resize-font.step: 2

And even fractions like 0.2 are supported.
