I have a temporary solution.  Take this file attachment and put it
into your xastir directory.  On mine it'd be /home/<user>/src/xastir/
Name it "bigfont.patch".

Don't do the other change I suggested.  It's included in this patch.
If you've already done it, you can delete the main.c file and then
run "cvs update" to get the original file back again, assuming that
you're running Xastir CVS and not a snapshot release.

Run these commands:

	cd src/xastir
	patch -p0 <bigfont.patch
	make
	su
	make install-strip
	chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir
	exit

When you start Xastir, you might want want to change your
Maps->Station Text Style to "Black Border".  The background colors
for the other two possibilities were outgrown by the font I chose.

I see a few minor glitches here and there with how some of the
dialogs are constructed, made obvious by the much larger font.  I
also see one dialog that is glaringly incorrect (Audio Config), so
I'll try to fix that one up tomorrow.

Let me know if anything's unusable because of the larger fonts.
