You only have to rebuild in order to make the "fxontsel" button on the xastir font menu button work. You can just bring up a command prompt and type xfontsel to bring up the command. And you can start by just increasing the pxlSz number (18, etc example in my previous email). -Jason > On

I did go into the file/config/font and tried to adjust things somewhat. I got the fonts to enlarge little bit but for the guy I am trying to help I am not sure it's enough magnification. The most I was able to get was 17dpi. If I can get 24 dpi might be better for him. Any thoughts? Jerry Kf5ao

Jerry, You may need to go into "Synaptic Package Manager" if it does not show up in "Ubuntu Software Center". The package that contains "xfontsel" is called *"x11-utils"*. You install it in the operating system. 73 Dave KB3EFS On 06/05/2015 11:09 AM, Jerry Wetherholt wrote: > Is xfontsel som
