see this:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Faq#I_have_Ubuntu_Breezy_and_my_fonts_in_Lazarus_IDE_look_too_big
it works for me, but you might have to fiddle a bit. i also use the
"terminus" font for the editor. was the cleanest one i could find...
I don't have "Terminus" in the font list. The code editor seems to be unable
to use most of the fonts that exist on the system. Where does this
limitation come from ?
Thanks for the link, Henry.
I have found that in the wiki, too (a little bit after posting my
questions) and
it makes the font a little smaller (which is a good sign because i know
that is has an effect).
But I haven't been able to configure a font properly. I admit that i don't
understand how the font system actually , and i don't know how to write
this of font names: "-adobe-helvetica-.....-" . Am i the only one who kind
this overly complex?
