https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205116 ------- Comment #6 from sh@novell.com 2006-09-26 05:58 MST ------- See YQUI::pickAutoFonts() in qt/src/YQUI_x11.cc But you can't simply enlarge them - then some texts will be cut off. Currently, the font size depends on the "default size" - the size of the YaST2 main window, which is now 800x600 or 1024x786. If we make it depend on screen size instead, texts will be cut off - the widgets will require more screen space than available. That's why I did not simply do that. So actually leaving the font sizes is the only option we have here if the window size is to remain 800x600 or 1024x768. I don't know a solution. I don't think there is a reasonable solution. That had been my point in all the discussions about that small window size. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

It would only scale up the font one stage. It would not really make it legible on large-resolution displays, but it might make it large enough to make some dialogs not fit into the available space. Just think of crowded dialogs and verbose languages like French. The root of the problem is the window that is too small. I don't see a workaround for all the problems. The fix would be not to make that window so small. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Another workaround is to use the text mode (ncurses)--the textmode lacks some features, but it is pretty usuable. The longterm solution probably is thinking about the crowded dialogs once again. I've the feeling not that many dialogs are affected. Do you think it is worth opening a FATE entry? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
