GTK L&F Font size

Using j2sdk 1.4.2_03 on Mandrake Linux and KDE. When I enable the GTK L&F just about every text using the default font is about twice as big as it should be. This version of the SDK should have this bug fixed according to release docs. My xserver DPI is 150x150.
If I explicitly set the font to "Dialog", I get the correct font size. Are there any other workarounds?

Solved, i.e. a workaround. I ran gnome-font-properties and changed some properties for font dpi and title fonts.,

GTK font size

I use KDE 3.5.8 and after upgrading to xorg 7.3 all my video modes and font sizes went nuts. That's solved now, but GTK apps still display a tiny font.
If I recall correctly, in previous KDE versions, kcontrol had an option to apply font preferences to Qt and GTK apps, but I can't find it now. I fixed the Qt ones with "qtconfig", does something similar exist for GTK? How can I increase size font beyond "microscopic almost invisible"?

All you need to do is create a couple text files. a .gtkrc and a .gtkrc-2.0 file under /home/username to manipulate the font and size.
This is the contents of my .gtkrc file...
style "tooltips"
bg[NORMAL] = "#ffffcc"
fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
widget "gtk-tooltips*" style "tooltips"
style "user-font"
fontset="-*-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1"
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
This is the contents of my .gtkrc-2.0 file...
include "/usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font"
font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 12"
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-theme-name="QtCurve"
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 12"

Change application font size in Thunderbird 3.

How can I change the font size in Thunderbird 3? The bold fonts are to bold and the general font size is to big I think.
I have tested with creating a chrome folder in the default profile. The userChrome.css looks like this. But it didn't work.
* Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
* This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
* override default settings.
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */
* Some possible accessibility enhancements:
* Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
* font-size: 20pt !important
/* Global UI font */
font-size: 6pt !important;
EDIT: Seems like the bold font is a more global problem. This is from Firefox
I have installed the ubuntu patched fonts. My ~/.fonts.conf looks like this.

Yes of course. My bad.
Here it is. Some of the entries don't have a corresponding entry in conf.avail. I accidentally deleted 10-autohint.conf from conf.avail when I meant to delete it in conf.d. Ho do I get it back?
Have tested lxappearance to change the font in GTK applications. Works, but the boldness is not looking very good yet.

GTK Styles and Fonts module

Having just got my fonts sorted out in KDE I have set-up a user login for my wife and gone through similar steps to give her a desktop that she can start working with. However, if I go into the KDE Control Centre - Appearance & Themes - GTK Styles and Fonts and then select "Use another font" under the GTK Fonts section and click "Apply", move elsewhere in the Cntrol Centre and then return, my changes have not been saved! I have repeated the process several times (and it works in my own login) but it will not save the option.
Anyone else had this odd behaviour - I assume it must be a bug?

GTK styles and fonts missing in KDE

when I go to system options, there used to be GTK styles and fonts under application appearance, but I don't see it there no more.. am I missing something? is it just because of gnome3? I also tried this, but it didn't help..
any hints?
thank you

Dpi or font size being automatically set somewhere - hidpi screen

Hi All,
I think this is a feature but I'd like to override it...
The feature, something is detecting I have a high res screen and automatically increasing my font size.
That's a really niice feature, only issue is when I plug an external screen and use that as my primary display, my font sizes are huge and xrandr command to set the dpi are being ignored.
Perhaps it's not a DPI setting but a font setting, because only my fonts in gtk and kde4 apps are large, while fonts in kde5 apps (with a broken look/theme) are fine.
Using i3, there is mention that i3 has automatic HiDPI support, perhaps that's what's tinkering with my DPI. How would I override it then?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI
Primary display is 1920x1080 on 12.5" screen. I use xrandr --auto --dpi 96 command when just using this display.
At work I use a 21" display also 1920x1080 res. I use xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP1 --dpi 96 when using both displays.
~ xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (508x285 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Any ideas?

Not sure what was adjusting my fonts, but I managed to resolve it by install plasma-desktop, open systemsettings5 and tick force fonts DPI to 96.
Hardly ideal (but at least its something for now), as I now have additional KDE applications installed.

QT Font Sizes Big While Running HDMI

I opened up qtconfig and changed the font size to 3 but I noticed on some applications certain fonts aren't changing and they still appear big.
Look at this screen shot of Keepassx and you'll notice the big fonts;
http://img215.imageshack.us/f/qtfonts.jpg/
I also changed my .gtkrc-2.0 to 3 for fonts;
gtk-font-name="Nimbus Sans L 3"
And the GTK fonts all look great...
How can I change these fonts in QT apps that still appear big?
THANKS
P.S. Got it fixed, the DPI was 305x305, now it's 96x96;
[sar@arch ~]$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
xorg.conf;
Section "Device"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

Hi there,
"Normal Size" fonts are relative to the users' screen resolution. If you just want to see larger font size on your end and send/reply to mesaages in "Normal Size" I would just use a lower resolution on your Mac Display. Your email recipients will then recieve your messages in their normal size (as they sent you). Your just looking at a "magnified" version of the font. You can do this in System Preferences > Displays > Display... play around with a comfortable resolution.
IMHO - you're better off turning screensaver completely off and just sleep display in 5 minutes or so...
Take the current window you have open, move it to where you want it to open next time, close window, open and it SHOULD open where it was last located.

Firefox and fraction font sizes

Today I was experimenting with GTK font sizes, and noticed that my new least-favorite app doesn't even handle that correctly.
Check this out:
Exhibit A: GTK font size 7
Exhibit B: GTK font size 7.5
Notice how the font in Thunar's menu changed and Firefox's didn't? Through testing 7.9 as a font size I came to the conclusion that it isn't even rounding to the nearest integer, just outright ignoring the decimals.
Is there a solution for this?

augustob wrote:Is there a solution for this?
Yes, but you won't like it. Crack open your UserChrome.css file (in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<garbage>.default/chrome/) and do something like this:
.chromeclass-menubar {
font-size: 10pt !important;
EDIT: To set the default font size for everything (not just the menu bar), use "*" instead of ".chromeclass-menubar".

Menu font sizes in fluxbox & gnome

I'm using arch 0.5, with regular updates via pacman. In fluxbox every gtk 2.0 application [firebird, gaim etc] has a tiny menu font, but this same application, when opened in gnome, looks nice, that is its menu font has an appropriate size. How can I fix this? It's annoying because every font in gaim is rendered tiny and only through preferences it is possible to change the font size of the message windows, but not the size of the input font in the editor. So most of the time I can't see what I'm typing. I've noticed the same font size change with slackware as well.
anamesa

OK, let's be more precise. This method works for gaim and other gtk2 apps, but it didn't work for firebird. Here the menus keep being tiny in fluxbox. I've searched for an option regarding fonts' size via "about:config" in addressbar of firebird, but either there is none [regarding menu] or I was blind for it.
And then, the preferred font appears rather large in gnome, that is every time I switch over to gnome, I have to edit the ~/.gtkrc-2.0, decreasing the font size. Then, when switching over to fluxbox again, I have to increase the font size to it's previous value. But not everything can be perfect, so let it be so.

How can I add more than one same spry menu (eg. collapsible menu) with in different styles (font size, color, background, etc) on current page?

How to change font size in iCal

How do I change the font size in iCal? When I go to print the monthly calendar, it is so small I can't read it. But for the life of me I can't find where to change the size!

earlnkids,
The text size selection should be available in the first page of the iCal print options:

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

How do I edit font size in acrobat 8?

I am trying to make edits to the font and font size in acrobat 8. I have clicked on the text toolbar under advanced editing and selected my text. All of the forums I have read say to right click on that text and select "properties." When I right click, my acrobat does NOT give me the option for properties. The closest option is "text style" which does not give me any font or font size options - only bold, underline, etc. Can anyone assist me in where I ca find these options or why it is not giving me the "properties" option?

Select the text and type ctrl-e

Edit font size standard report

Hello community,
I try to edit the font size of a standard report but I can't find any menu within APEX to edit this reports.
I also tried to edit it within the SQL with '< f o n t s i z e=130%">' || ... || '</ f o n t >' but this did not work.
Can anybody help me? Is there a menu which lists all the standard reports and where is the chance to edit this?
Or is there any other chance?
Thank you so much,
Lisa :-)

Hi Lisa,
The font is defined in the style sheet (css file) that is referenced in the Page Template. You can override the style by adding your own style (with the same name as used by the columns in the report - you can check that using Firefox+Firebug or the Developer Tools in Chrome) after the APEX standard CSS. You can also put this CSS in your Report Template or in your Page (if it's only for one specific page).
A good practice is not to include CSS or HTML in your SQL query. Because SQL is logic and HTML/CSS is presentation and these two shouldn't be mixed up.

Edit bookmarks font size

Safari 7 had the right size font for the edit bookmarks page, but Safari 8 uses several sizes larger font which throws the list of folder off the bottom of the page and moving individual links is tedious as you have to hold it to the top or bottom if the folder is off the display. I would like to reset it to the size used with Safari 7. Is there a setting for it or a way to resize the font when I open the page?

Unfortunately, the font size cannot be modified in Safari but there are some alternatives.
1. Try a different display resolution. Open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
2. Try Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
