[Bug 598418] Re: Can't change font size in Empathy
Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu and its IM client Empathy better by reporting this bug. It is most certainly a valid paper cut and an accessibility issue as well. I'm accepting this as a paper cut and am reporting this upstream if it hasn't been done already. Thank you! ** Summary changed: - The font size is not easily customizable + Can't change font size in Empathy ** Description changed: - On empathy the default font size is too small with certain resolutions, - and there isn't an easy way to set it properly (unless you edit the - theme XML). + It is not possible to change the font size of Empathy chats in the + Empathy preferences window. You can only change it by adapting the + theme's XML file, but that is not what we want to force users to do, + especially when users have problems with their eye-sight and need larger + fonts. ** Tags added: a11y ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Triaged ** Also affects: empathy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #622873 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622873 ** Also affects: empathy via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622873 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Milestone: None = maverick-round-3-social-networking -- Can't change font size in Empathy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
