JadeWolf324 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I have CrossOver Office and their version of wine and i was curious how i would go about setting the font size and perhaps the font face (not as important) within the config files..there isnt much documentation. Its not exactly too hard to read...but the is room for some enlargement, any help would be appriciated.

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 What are you using to edit? Do you open a terminal window? Do you switch to tty2 (CTRL-ALT-F2), or anything like that? DO you use vim? kate? kedit? gedit? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130241-setting-the-font-size-in-wine/#findComment-1573996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 In kwrite, select the Settings menu, then select Configue Editor, and a box will pop up. Click the Fonts symbol on the left, and have a ball! :D (obligatory screenie attached) :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130241-setting-the-font-size-in-wine/#findComment-1574069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 Rudy said: no he ment the fonts used for wine (i think) You know... After re-reading it a couple of times, I think I finally read what what intended... When he said "how i would go about setting the font size and perhaps the font face (not as important) within the config files..", for some reason, I took it to be setting the font face and size within the config files.. :blush: Same words, different emphasis, and TOTALLY screwed up answers from me! :wacko: As far as configuring wine goes.... :no: I don't touch the stuff. I played with wine to see that it worked, but didn't have any legacy Win stuff I coudl not find replacements for, so haven't used it since...

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 Doesn't wine use the same font sizes that the Windows proggy would run with???

JadeWolf324 Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 no...it emulates a font set for the application based on linux. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130241-setting-the-font-size-in-wine/#findComment-1574311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2004 Found something on the winehq.com website --=[ here ]=--. It looks like you can edit the wine config file and edit the [fonts] section. I'll quote a relevant passage, and if it applies, use the above link to the document to find out more. Quote 5.4.3.6. The [fonts]SectionThis section sets up wine's font handling. "Resolution" = "96" Since the way X handles fonts is different from the way Windows does, wine uses a special mechanism to deal with them. It must scale them using the number defined in the "Resolution" setting. 60-120 are reasonable values, 96 is a nice in the middle one. If you have the real windows fonts available (<dirs to wine>/documentation/ttfserver and fonts), this parameter will not be as important. Of course, it's always good to get your X fonts working acceptably in wine. "Default" = "-adobe-times-" The default font wine uses. Fool around with it if you'd like. Hope this is what you were looking for! (and hope is makes up for my gross error interpreting what you wanted) :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/130241-setting-the-font-size-in-wine/#findComment-1574347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
