I am sight impaired. I need decent sized fonts. Running 11.1 with KDE 4.1 Two separate issues with font size.
Yast. - Even though I have set the GTK fonts to use my KDE fonts (16 points) it insists on using the small 8 pt. font. What is Yast's problem?
YaST2 fonts are set by QT, unaffected by Gnome or KDE font settings. It's at least one open bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446713
Set the size via qtconfig, or edit ~/.config/Trolltech.conf directly.
e.g. if you want 12pt Sans, set in [Qt]: font="Sans Serif,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
Hi Felix, Thanks. I used qtconfig and now I can see the applets in Yast OK. First I ran qtconfig as a user and it didn't effect anything. Then as root and got my changes. Doesn't effect the main menu of Yast though, only the applets beneath it. I can live with that though but I really don't understand all of these special configurations.
BTW, Open Office is qt also, right? The menu's and appearance are also pretty small. Didn't seem to be effected by qtconfig.
Console - The booting screen or when I boot into level 3 for some reason and run an editor like joe or whatever I cannot read the screen because of the small fonts. Can this be changed somehow? 10.3 does not do this. All fonts are readable for me.
Console font size is normally set by the VGA= parameter on the kernel line: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3 -- Didn't try that yet. Will report back
