fonts


I've got all my fonts but then at the bottom on the list there's 10 or so that seem seperated from the rest and I can't make them bold or change the size or anything with them. Is there a way I can make them a little bigger since some of them are verging on unusable but look really cool snap is the specific font I'm after if that helps at all.

Yeah, I know the fonts you mean... those are the Artwiz fonts.

There were two versions of them made -- the original xfonts, which are bitmap fonts and cannot be scaled. There are also newer truetype artwiz fonts (which less people seem to have) and they are technically scalable, but you'd need to hack your config files to make them so -- but I wouldn't try it, it will probably look like crap if you try.

The Artwiz fonts are meant to be small. So the best answer I can really give you is "you can't."

It's cool, yeah I've got the artwiz pack installed so that's it. I could still read them fine, just one or two points bigger would've been nice but I can handle this, thanks for the response
