Hello, I would like to have the default size of the 'URW Chancery L' font about 160% of what it is now. I'm thinking about fontconfig (/etc/font/*) (am I on track?). I've looked in /usr/share/docs/packages/fontconfig/*. I noticed the 'matrix' keyword, but its usage is not described. Does anybody know how to change the default font-size in X by a factor 1.6? (I'm running KDE 3.5.4 on SL 10.1, updated) Cheers, Leen

If you want all fonts bigger by 60%, what you probably should do first is make sure your DPI isn't bogus. Check the X Server section of Kinfocenter or do 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution' to find out what it is now. You might be able to check by visiting http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/dpi-screen-window.html in Firefox to confirm, but likely your system is set to less than 96 and by default Firefox uses 96 as a minimum. If the system claims 75, it all but certainly needs adjusting to something far more realistic. I usually make that kind of adjustment using the DisplaySize parameter in xorg.conf, but there are alternatives. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html is a good help to getting your DPI right. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

No, not all, just 1 particular font.

Ok, but my DPI isn't bogus. :) It's calculated from the correct DisplaySize parameters in the Monitor section in /etc/xorg.conf. Thanks, cheers, Leen

96 * 1.60 = 153.60 Ergo, put -dpi 154 into /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers Jan Engelhardt --

Thanks. :) But how should I do that only for /one/ font? Cheers, Leen

I doubt that is possible. Jan Engelhardt --

I feel the same, but the fontconfig mailing list is probably the place to find out. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
