[SLE] NetScape TrueType fonts size 0 & 12??
Hello, I installed xfsft . I have TrueType in Netscape. But it is only giving me two size options in preferences, 0 and 12 . Big choice. What's up with that? Where is size 14, 16, etc? It's the same with all the TrueTypes, and they are MicoSofts Times New Roman, Arial, Courier - standard stuff.

Hi George, that seems easy in my case: Choose Edit Prefferences, Fonts. Select your favourite Font, check the "allow scaling" box and enter a value. I tried "Comic Sans MS" 35 pt. Couldn't read anything anymore since The header went to big. ;-) Sadly, this all affects the variable width font only, I can't choose any TTF for fixed width. (Suppose all TTF are variable...) I guess that all you know need is a fixed font with cyryllic characters...

Hello,

Couldn't read anything anymore since The header went to big. ;-) Did you add a fonts.alias file somewhere in your system? I checked scaling, and this allows me to see the fonts as they should be, but if I choose 24 for size, it does not work. When I return to preferences, scaling is still 12 .
Sadly, this all affects the variable width font only, I can't choose any TTF for fixed width. (Suppose all TTF are variable...)

As it turned out, many of these TrueType fonts already have cyrillic. Cool. George -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

This time, you seem to be ahead of me. What does fonts.alias??

no clue. It works with both fixed and variable.

Yes. On investigating another problem (some fonds are produced by "unknown makers", resulting in a "unknown foundry" message calling ttmkfdir) I noticed that the character set KOI8-RU appears with all standard fonts like arial, courier, times... Line spacing increased as well in netscape. Looks real big now. ;-) Juergen

This time, you seem to be ahead of me. What does fonts.alias?? I remember seeing something about this for Netscape when setting up TrueType fonts. Something about setting up a fonts.alias file for Netscape. I can't seem to find the page which had the info. It might explain why only 0 and 12 are available in Netscape with TrueType fonts. Sometimes I like to browse with size 14 with default set to my fonts, because my eyes get tired. Can't do this now.
