Yet Another Menu Question [FIXED]

[cpcnw]

Hi

Is it possible under linux to influence /change the font on the toolbar and the drop down menus?

Thanks!

Turns out there is a control in SMFO - Tools > Option > Appearance > User Interface > Use System Fonts

Which makes the size more to my liking however I cannot change the actual font used there?

In one of the program directory i found gui.txt and it suggests moving it to the app directory and making changes there.
Where is the spec for the following? I got it to accept Arial but want to take the bold off.

[General]
// menu font
menuFont=Arial,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
// font for dialogs
font=Arial,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0

If you are using Gnome, you can change it all buy using Gnome Tweak Tool.

I don't use gnome but I found that out by accident when I forgot to prevent netinstall puling in Gnome.Consequently I had to have a play with it, and ended up with TM looking like the screenshot, even after I uninstalled most of Gnome. (I am using Bunsenlabs openbox, so I have to run TM with the switch -gui:gnome so it keeps the changes to the menus made by the gnome tweak tool. I also have to select "use system fonts" in the user interface selection, or it is grubby horribleness.)

The changes to the menu fonts are also within the hamburger menu, and this may be what you want.

Hope this helps.

Hey - that '-gui:gnome' switch did the trick!!!

Thanks!

Also adding

! xft settings !
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb

to .Xresrouces

Happy to hear the switch worked for you.

I have never had to edit .Xresources for fonts, but that is good to know for the future. Thanks.

Also check > Tools > Options > Appearance > Smooth Edge of Screen Fonts

[dhalgren]

Oh yes, I've set that one.
The Bunsenlabs font configuration is very good, however, and I have never had to play with ~/.Xresouces to fix any font configuration issue.
