[Solved] Seeking solution to increase the font size in a base install

I recently installed Arch onto a machine with the following hardware/software
i686 AMD Semprom 3600+
ATI Radeon RS690 [X1200 series]
NEC Multisync E1100+ monitor
xf86-video-ati video driver
Kernel 2.6.37-ARCH
It works nicely.  That is not the problem - I cannot see well enough to read the very tiny console font.
I tried grub VGA setting but as soon as UDEV got hold of the machine the font went small again.
I tried setfont -h## but I probably do not know enough about that from reading the man page to
correctly set the font.
I would like to have a larger font size - that is make an "m" triple or double it's default size.
I have tried to puzzle through the boot process but can't seem to get a handle on a good way,
or any way to change this.  I am having problems getting the menus to work in xorg and need to
use the command line to fix the problems.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

  • Increasing the font size of an ALV report while printing it.

    The requirement is to increase the font size of an ALV report while printing it. The ALV Report is coded using the Factory method.
    I could find a class called CL_SALV_ITEM with a SET_FONT method but I am not sure how to link it with the CL_SALV_TABLE class from which the display table has been created. I even tried checking the report display in SPOOL transaction SP01.But I guess the font shown there depends on the SAP GUI settings.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks and regards

    The status bar is a fixed fontsize which does not change. While I have no problem reading the time off the status bar you should also have the time on the lockscreen and/or glance screen with a much larger font so I do not really see the issue.

  • How do I increase the font size in my email and maintain resolution.

    Hi folks. Mr Newbie is seeking some help, I hope it is relatively straight forward, thanks
    How do I increase the font size in my standard email and document views without losing resolution.  Right now my font size in email, headers and text is less than that on my iPhone, it rather defeats the point of having a 27" screen if most of it is blank and I have to sit with my nose to the screen to read email.  Thanks for your help, once you have stopped laughing.  C

    Two things you can do to easily aid with readability in Mail are as follows:
    1) Increase the size of folders in the sidebar:
    a) select "system preferences" from the Apple menu
    b) select "general settings"
    c) select small, medium or large under "sidebar icon size"
    2) Increase the text in the main body of the email (both sent and received):
    a) select "preferences" from the Mail menu
    b) select "fonts and colors"
    c) adjust font size for "message list font" and "message font".  I have noticed this works properly while in classic mode, but in regular mode the message list font doesn't appear to change size.
    Select classic mode by accessing Mail preferences and selecting the "viewing" tab.
    Another shortcut is to right click on the toolbar, then select "customize toolbar", and then drag the "smaller / bigger" buttons onto the toolbar.  Now you can decrease and increase font size as desired on the fly.

  • Need to Increase the Font Size of a screen field in a Dialog Screen ?

    Hi ppl,
    I have a requirement wherein i need to increase the font size of one field on a dialog screen .
    i was going through the threads and found this which has beautiful example given by vijay
    Increase text size in Screen
    But I'm facing a problem in implementing it since the value in the field (of which the font size needs to be increased) depends on a nother field filled by user at runtime only.
    Can anyone gimme some suggestions or alternative way to solve my problem
    Thanks

    Hi Sachin,
    There is not way to change the font style.
    But you can add ur own text through icons or graphics.
    Create your own graphics or icons and include it in ur module pool.
    Or,
    Goto the Layout Editor of your Screen.
    Double click on the text field .. Double clk the text fild, and from the Botton right u can see an arrow icon -> click on that -> will open a Popup -> in that set Area Title to TRUE.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How do I increase the font size of a large document?

    Whenever I try to increase the font size of a large document, the text boxes cross their boundaries and mix with each other, or partly disappear at the end of every page. Do I really have to adjunst every text bos in the document or is there a faster way? Im having this issue with adobe acrobat 11 pro

    This is not a feasible thing to do. Editing a PDF is a desperate last resort for so many reasons.
    Whatever you need to solve, you are unlikely  to solve it in Acrobat. Probably best to export text and remake it.

  • How do i increase the font size on my macbook air

    how do i increase the font size on my macbook air

    Unfortunately Apple hasn't yet given us a resolution independant OS yet so there are two solutions: 1) poor and 2) sad. You can open System Preferences and select a lower resolution in the Displays tab. The result is a larger font which is slightly fuzzy. Or you can change the default font size or magnification in each program (that allows this). Unfortunately many programs don't allow it.
    This problem (and my aging eyes) are why my next Mac notebook will be retina. They scale to other resolutions better than the Air does.

  • Need to increase the font size of SAP printer

    Hi all,
    We had some new HP printers HP4015 which needs to print from SAP . we created the new device type ZHPLJCM1 after checking correct device type for it from HP printer site. For some users printouts are coming in small fonts ,they wanted it to print in big fonts .
    These are some of the  t codes  that they use KAH3 , FB03 , Y_DEV_39000067.
    we tried to change the printer fonts in SE73 of that particular device type and increased the font size , but that also ended in vain.
    Kindly suggest possible ways by which we can solve this issue.
    Please let me know if more information are needed.

    Hi,
    Is this ABAP lists, sapcript or smartforms? For sapscript or smartforms, you need to specify the font size in the paragraph/character formats for sapscript and in the smartstyle for smartforms.
    For ABAP lists, the font size is selected based on the format used. e.g. If you create a list with format X_65_255, it should print in landscape and the font size is calculated based on the size needed to fit 255 characters into a page. If the format is X_65_132, then the font size is calculated based on the size needed to fit 132 characters into a page so it is a bit larger.

  • How to increase the font size of the ALV Print

    Hello Experts,
    How can we increase the font size while printing an ALV report? I tried searching the fourms for a solution from the previous postings, but could not find a "clear" answer. Thanks for the help.

    Hi,
    The size of the page is fixed, and if all the fields have to be there, then the font size will have to be decreased. So, if the no. of fields are less, it automatically increases thefont  size and prints.
    The size of the font in the printout is directly related to the line-size of the output on the screen. When we do the print, we check that the output format is optimal for the size of the line. For example, in the print dialog, check that the format is related to the size of your line. If there are 132 characters across, then choose format like X_65_132.
    thanks,

    In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
    The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus

    Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

    In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

    How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
    We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
    Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
    Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.
