Hi .....this is one area of Xastir that bugs me....font selection
with at least 2 other APRS programs they have in their font section menus
for choice of font and size...they will even show any fonts that you
have d/l
for use in other programs..it takes only a few seconds to change fonts
and size.....BTW with Adobe fonts you have to pay for Helvetica fonts
my thoughts only

at -*-clean-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* That looks pretty good. I
couldn't figure out how to copy the string, so I figured I would just
hand type it into xastir.cnf. Once I got into xastir.cnf, I could only
find variables for MAPS_LABEL... (Six of these) and ATV_ID_FONT. I'm
not sure where I need to put the font string. Also, I attached a couple
of pictures of Xastir running on my BBB with the 7" LCD. I added in a
Belkin Mini USB hub that came in the mail yesterday. I took the case
off and stripped it down. I'm trying to make it as small as possible so
I can fit it in a case that I'm going to mill for the whole package. I
also have a custom interface board on the way that I designed to have a
+5VDC switching supply, two USB ports, one ethernet port and a DB9
female that will interface my radio to the internal TNC-X I am building
to put inside of the case as well. Jason Rausch - Amateur Radio

PM Subject: Re: [Xastir] Window Sizing and Shortcuts I fired up xfontsel
on the BBB. on my old CentOS xastir config, my fonts (which I think are
the xastir defaults) are
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_TINY:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_SMALL:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_MEDIUM:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_LARGE:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_HUGE:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_BORDER:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
but the BBB doesn't have any adobe fonts. I suspect you are getting
some random font since the defaults aren't available. Try running
xfontsel and find a sane font. If xastir's configuration won't let you
get there due to the font problem, run xfontsel from a terminal window,
poke around and find a font that looks good (or at least sane), and
copy/paste the font spec string into the appropriate place in
~/xastir/config/xastir.cnf -*-clean-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* may be
a decent place to start. or maybe someone who actually knows debian can
suggest a command to load the adobe fonts? -Jason kg4wsv
