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

    • Obviously new hardware costs more money. Never said you get new 2025 hardware for $266. You get new 2025 hardware for as little as $399 and only gets better with back to school sales. At the $499-699, there's some decent spec laptops with 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD with better build quality than this lowest end ideapad.

    • Can you get a brand new (not refurb) device like this, but with 2025 hardware, for $266? Under $300? No? If you can, it must have the worst specs otherwise (4gb ram, 1366x768 12in lcd screen, 256gb spinning hard drive, etc.). Please show me this sub-$300 2025 laptop that is better than what the article shows.
