Thanks very much for your reply, Ben.
When you say that I could "set the monitor to its maximum resolution,
then set the fonts to be larger", were you referring to some global
font size setting that I could change, at least in Fedora Core 3? I
ask because I was under the impression that I'd have to change font
size application by application and that's what made me plump for a
lower resolution than the maximum.
on Gnome,
Foot->Desktop->preferences->Font
lets you set up the defaults. I'm sure kde has something similar.
Your mileage may vary. Didn't seem to affect the font size in my actual
mail in t-bird when I tried it just then...
Foot->Desktop->preferences->Font->Details
Lets you adjust the resolution globally which may do the job you're after.
Good luck
Hi Hal.
Thanks for directing me to the "Font Rendering Details" box, of which I
was unaware. However, when I tried it, it didn't seem to change
anything. Also, in another post, Glen Turner said (at least, I
understood him to say) that any change in a value in that box wouldn't
survive a reboot. He suggested a more wide ranging configuration change,
which I'm trying to follow. At the same time, I'll play around some more
with that box, to see if I can make it work at all.
Thanks again,
Leslie
