[opensuse] smart gui tiny fonts
Hello SuSE people, I am visually impaired. I just cannot use the smart --gui because the fonts are so small. What is it written in? Is there a config file I can change? Thanks for any help or info.

I don't use Smart but I find it odd that it would follow the normal font settings as you set in the KDE or GNOME control center... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How about using kmagnify available on 10.3.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for replying Kevin. KDE certainly does not effect it and Idon't have the Gnome control center installed. I hesitate to do that because it brings along dozens of extra packages that I don't want and don't need. I remember a couple of years back that Mozilla was a problem like this but I was able to change stuff in a CSS to make it look decent.. There must be some way to change that GUI. Using the magnifier thing was suggested but that is a horror to use. I can bump the screen resolution a couple of times to make it better but I should not have to do that to make an app appear properly..

The Smart GUI fonts here in 10.2 look the same as the rest of my KDE desktop fonts as set in Personal Settings. Look in there and see if you have checked to use KDE fonts in GTK applications. When done, look in ~/.gtkrc* files to see any font settings you might want to tweak manually. According to http://labix.org/smart/config-options?highlight=%28qt%29 QT is not yet implemented, but since that's an old page, I'd check to be sure you have a file ~/.qt/qtrc file with a font= line in it set to something appropriate for your needs, just in case the Smart you are using is built with QT instead of GTK. Check also in your environment for an Xft.dpi variable setting. It it exists you might want to set it higher. If it doesn't, you might want to set it in ~/.Xdefaults - e.g. Xft.dpi: 120 (to make fonts equivalent to the windoz "large fonts" setting). Any change you make to Xft.dpi could affect a lot of other apps, particularly Firefox and/or SeaMonkey. Not all apps manage to see equal DPI, so if none of the above gets you exactly what you want, a read of some of the following might be helpful: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-linux-about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-October/126426.html -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
