Tom, Installing xfonts-100dpi helped. I had to go down to a size of 10 to see the buttons on the station config screen. Other screens that are longer, that is still too big. I'm just going to have to find some kind of happy medium, but changing config on certain things is going to be tough, if at all.

It is possible that Wheezy did the same thing Ubuntu did, unbundling what used to be default fonts in X from the packages that get installed with X. When I first installed Xastir on a laptop that came with Ubuntu 12.04 I discovered this and hated it. But there's a way to get those fonts. Try installing "xfonts-100dpi" This was one of those things that cheesed me off when I first installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my cracktop. Perhaps Ubuntu learned it from Debian. http://www.bogodyn.org/blog/?p=37#more-37 -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
