Re: Size of ttfonts in Netscape?
I was just playing with this a little more I think this si a bug in netscape... It apears that Netscape does not handle the truetype fonts well You can go into prefs and fix it...but...if you exit netscape and come back in it does not remember the font size that you used. I would recomend not using truetype fixed with fonts with netscape :( I am not sure exactly what the cause is...I will look into it further but... my gut feeling is this is netscape -Steve On Tue, Jul 14, 1998 at 10:34:29PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Mon, Jul 13, 1998 at 11:38:11AM +0200, Thomas Apel wrote: > > I installed xfstt from slink installed some fonts and it works.

Hmmm...loading Netscape ok what version are you using? I am running xfstt from slink (truth be told I am running an xfstt that is NOT YET in slink...I am still working on it...but...it is essentially the same as the slink one... no major changes) I changed my fixed width font to courier new (I was using courier adobe before) and it seems to work. The "Size:" dropdown box does not work this is because TrueType fonts are truely scaleable...they do not come in any pre-defined sizes. You should notice "allow scaling" is greyed out and selected. There is a text entry box next to it (under the drop box) Type in the size you want there. It worked fine for me. When I first changed the font was way too big...so I went into prefs->fonts and typed in "9" as the size in that text box...then hit OK it looks great. > I really need to the monospace font (I use "courier new") down, because > it's far too big.

Does it work? if not..what version of Netscape are you using communicator 4.04 ...it also works with latest mozilla in slink -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde pgpSDWUO5qvns.pgp Description: PGP signature
Size of ttfonts in Netscape?
I installed xfstt from slink installed some fonts and it works. But when I chose them in the Netscape preferences I can't set the size anymore. The dropdown boxes are greyed out. What's the reason for this and how can I change this? I really need to the monospace font (I use "courier new") down, because it's far too big. Text in this font (e.g. all emails) doesn't fit in a normal sized window.
