What is this bugreport about?
It's about making error message text size legible. Illegible messages are useless. How to go about it I really don't know. Device pixel densities are all over the place now, and getting even more so for the foreseeable future. So, presenting error messages sized using pixels of indefinite size as the xterms that xmessage seems to be using needs to stop. If in fact xterms are simply being called, it seems the caller could find an appropriate point size in a Trolltech.conf or other existing font configuration file and if found call the xterm with -fa. Even if not found, a point size fallback/default of 10 should work a lot better than pixels that could render at 4pt or less. YaST2 is built with a new toolset now, so maybe someone who knows how to use and/or learn that toolset can come up with something that wasn't previously available. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
