Setting the Font size in wine


Recommended Posts

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.

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... Sorry.. :(

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]Section

This 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

    • Fully know where this has come from… If we cannot block mods (for yes, the stunningly obvious reasons), then perhaps one could not start arguments where they don’t need to exist and people are trying to help each other.

    • NotebookLM's Audio Overviews is coming to Google Search by Aditya Tiwari Audio Overviews will find a new home in another Google product. The search giant announced that Audio Overviews will be available on Google Search this time through its latest experiment in Search Labs. The feature will use Google's latest Gemini models to generate quick, conversational audio overviews for certain search queries. An option will appear on Google Search to generate a short audio summary on the topic of your query. However, according to the company, the option to generate summaries will only appear "when our systems determine it might be useful. " When interacting with the Audio Overviews card, you can tap on the thumbs-up/down button to register your feedback about the generated response. "Searching for a topic you’re not familiar with? An audio overview can help you get a lay of the land, offering a convenient, hands-free way to absorb information whether you're multitasking or simply prefer an audio experience," Google said in a blog post. Google added that it would also display related web links within the audio player interface on its search results page to explore a particular topic more. You can try out Audio Overviews in Google Search by opting in to the experiment. For the uninitiated, Audio Overviews was introduced in NotebookLM last year. It offers the ability to create AI-generated podcasts and audio summaries from information sources, including written content, audio files, and YouTube videos. It features multiple AI voices or hosts who explain things in a conversational, natural-sounding way, as if two people are discussing a topic. Audio Overviews in NotebookLM also added support for more than 50 new languages and made its way to the Gemini app earlier this year. At I/O 2025, the search giant added length customization options, allowing users to change the length of their AI podcasts.
