How to set Fonts size in X (whole system)

Hi,
I just bought a 19" monitor, and finally, got my resolution up from 800x600 to find out that i cant get to increse the xterm, Eterm, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim and everything to have an acceptable font size...
I mean, is there a way to set the whole system font to some minimal size?
I know how to change in almost every app (have to see if they can remember it, but thats just checking) but there are some i dont... xterm for example...ive looked at the man page, but there are so many options (just with the font subject, i do use several of the other flags) that i couldnt find the one i wanted, just to increase the font size... in Eterm there are 4 pre-set sizes, although i would like to increse it a bit more...
I use Enlightenment, so i dont have any Gnome/KDE control center to do anything...
As usual, any tips are welcome!
Thanks!

I can't provide much help but I can give you a hint: change the DPI globally with... one sec... xfce has some sort of script for settings the DPI globally...
This is the part where the DPI is set
# Those are my settings, change them as appropriate...
# Xft DPI: 96
# Xft.hintstyle: hintnone/hintslight/hintmedium/hintfull
# Xft hinting: 1/0
xrdb -nocpp -merge - << EOF
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium
EOF
You might run the command with another DPI setting...
xrdb can be found in /usr/X11R6/bin.
Once again, this is just a thought, I don't know how successful this change will be. Good luck.
You might want to have a look on Google.

  • How to set font size...

    Hi, I'm trying to make the font size of a link 16px, how can I do this? I am trying:
    Currently, I have:
    <b><hbj:link
    id="link1"
    text="Link to google"
    reference="http://www.google.com"
    target="_TOP"
    tooltip="this takes you to: http://www.google.com"
    onClick="LinkClick">
    <% link1.setFontSize(LinkFontSize.STANDARD);%>
    </hbj:link></b>
    But I would like the size of the font link to be 16px.
    I see that there is a constructor available in the JavaDocs but it is protected, how would I be able to use it?
    I'm a beginner in JSP and Java, so any examples, code, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks so much!
    Baggett.

    You can't use the LinkFontSize to change the font size but you have an alternative. you could do the following. You can pass your text for your link in html text and set the encoding to false.
    <b><hbj:link
    id="link1"
    text="<h1>Link to google</h1>"
    reference="http://www.google.com"
    target="_TOP"
    tooltip="this takes you to: http://www.google.com"
    onClick="LinkClick">
    <% link1.getInnerText().setEncode(false);%>
    </hbj:link></b>
    PS: Please Post your question in one forum.

  • Set global font size for the whole application.

    Is there a way of setting a font globally
    What I mean I want to set a font size for the whole application.
    Is this posable ??
    Thanks Craig

    After posting over 300 questions I would think you would be passed the "New to Java TechnologY" stage.
    The answer for Swing applications is yes this can be done.
    I don't know how to do it for AWT components.
    Since you posted the question in this forum (as oppose to the Swing forum for Swing related problems), I'm assuming this is an AWT related question and therefore I can't help you.

  • How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

    hi All
    That's great when using SQL Dev.
    But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
    My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
    Appreciate for anyone to help us.
    Thanks all.

    You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
    Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

  • How to set the size of a JTabbedane to the size of the frame

    I have a tabbed pane in a frame, I would like to know how to set the size of the tabbed pane, so that it occupies the whole of the frame which has been set to screen size.
    Thanks

    Is it not possible to use it with a GridBagLayout?Your question was "How do I get a tabbed pane to take all the space of the frame"?
    You where given the answer. Did you try it? Did it work? Then why are you questioning the suggestion?
    Its one line of code if you use a BorderLayout which by the way was specifically designed for this purpose.
    Yes you can do it with a GridBagLayout with about 5 lines of code.
    So the question is why would you want to write 5 lines of code when you can use one?
    If your question was "How do I waste my time forcing the GridBagLayout to size a component to take up all the space of the frame", then you would have received a different answer. (Although most people would have told you to use a BorderLayout anyway, since its easier).

  • In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports  output how to change font size and font type.
    Regards,
    Zaker.

    These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
    With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
    With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
    Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

  • How to change font size on screen

    how to change font size on screen

    I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
    Forgot to add these.

  • How to change font size in textarea?

    how to change font size in textarea?

    to embed a font using actionscript requires adding the font to your library.  to do that, click the upper right of your library panel, click "new font..", select the font you want and click ok.  find the added font in your library, right click, click properties and tick "export for actionscript" (click the actionscript tab if you don't see that option, at first).  assign a class name (eg, WhateverFont).  you can then use:
    var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    tfor.size=22;
    var yourfont:Font=new WhateverFont();
    tfor.font = yourfont.fontName;
    ta.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
    ta.setStyle("textFormat",tfor);
