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

    • Nice to see you've got some port redundancy going on there @Steven P.😄 Always good to see air flow baffles in a rack 😊

    • io sounds incredibly generic. My first thought was "the domain name".
    • Ubuntu could get a new trash icon soon, if everyone can agree by Paul Hill A mockup for the next Ubuntu bin Ubuntu contributors are currently floating designs for a new bin icon that’ll sit in the dock possibly as soon as with the release of Ubuntu 25.10 in October. The conversation about the appearance of the trash icon in Ubuntu was going on in 2019 until it was closed in March of that year. The discussion was reopened again this year in May with updated icons being suggested on a regular basis. The main criticism of the existing trash can icon is that without the recycling icon, it kind of looks like a letter box, rather than a bin. When the bin has files in it, the papers that appear in the bin look quite neat, like letters, boosting the impression that it’s a post box, rather than a bin. The trash icon is at the bottom of the dock on the left, it looks like a letter box Designs that are being suggested now are fully open at the top to make it clearer that it's a bin and when there are files inside it shows crumpled papers. The designer, ochi12, has published several iterations of the icons and put them in different sizes to see how it’d look in different use cases. The latest version definitely seems to survive being shrunk down to smaller sizes. Right now, the designer is still being given feedback by other contributors so that ones that have been made so far are unlikely to be what shows up in Ubuntu, if one is ever agreed upon. That’s an important point too, the change may never be agreed to and it could be that we never see the change materialize. Notably, some people who commented said they liked the existing bin icon and hope it doesn’t change, showing the subjective nature of what makes for a good trash bin icon. Hopefully, we get some consensus on a design so that Ubuntu users can get a more fresh experience when upgrading to upcoming versions of Ubuntu. There is still a lot of time until Ubuntu 25.10 drops in October so it’s feasible we could see the new icon by then, but if not, maybe we’ll see it in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Source: GitHub via OMG Ubuntu
