This may no longer apply to the current version, but in older versions
of imosflm and mosflm, I needed to install some xfonts to get the
windows to display text properly. These xfonts are also required for
ccp4i to fit the fonts properly into the windows unless you like
tweaking the install. In any event, these fonts will probably not harm
anything. The microsoft fonts may also be desirable.
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer # installs microsoft fonts
sudo apt-get install xfs xfstt xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi # installs
xfonts and xfont server
Cheers,

Hi,
I have seen this before. I would also check the screen resolution
(size) used by the terminal to launch the program matches the largest
size capable by your monitor. You can check and change this with the
xrandr command. Type man xrandr for info.
Cheers,

Hi
As David suggests, this is certainly a problem with fonts - you're
getting a large variant of Courier; the default font in iMosflm is
Helvetica, and it looks like your X-display isn't finding it for some
reason.
You should be able to re-size the window by dragging out the bottom
right hand corner of the "Processing options" window, even if there's
no visible handle.
Ubuntu has been becoming less good at having "normal Linux things"
installed by default over the last few years - I'm sure Canonical has
very good reasons for this, but it has put me off recommending it.

This might be a problem with fonts. On my laptop the menu items use
a sans serif font and that particular window is just wide enough to
fit all the items. The font also looks more attractive and readable
than your screenshot. I'm guessing (from your desktop background!)
that you also use Ubuntu. Unfortunately I can't remember how I set
fonts up on my machine, but it may help to:
1) install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package
2) ensure the package gsfonts-x11 is *not* installed (this causes an
incorrect mapping of unicode symbols so you get things like the
registered trademark symbol appearing - an effect apparently known
as "mojibake"...)

Has anyone else encountered this? When I go to "processing
options" in iMosflm 1.0.7, many of the parameters on the right
hand side of the window are cut off, and there is no way to
scroll over so that I can enter them. I've attached link to a
picture of what it looks like.
