Linux/X11: It's not obvious how to increase the size of the x11 window #57

Linux/X11 Issue: It's not obvious how to make the X11 window larger than SIL_X11_FONT_0=12x24

I propose that we introduce a readme or comments in silg.sh similar to that of Frogcomposband that give some hints on how to select larger fonts

I had to modify silg so that the various SIL_X11_FONT_* entries are 12x24. Otherwise the font is too small on a retina screen.

Is it even currently possible to have it be bigger than 12x24?

I see in the lib/xtra/font folder that there's fonts for up to 16x25 (and they are in my system under /usr/lib/sil-q/xtra/font/16x25.fon), but it doesn't seem to work when I set SIL_X11_FONT_0=16x25
