increase font size in applications
 

I'm running my desktop in 1024x728 on a 20" monitor. I have been able to increase the font sizes for the desktop and browser windows but I can't find where to change this for the application windows. Example: the Software Media Manager window fonts are so small I can barely read them.

Thanks,

Hello!
Go to /etc/X11/xdm as root (Alt+F2 kdesu konqueror) and open file Xservers with kwrite.
in the line:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -deferglyphs 16
ad -dpi 100 like this:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -deferglyphs 16 -dpi 100

and restart X server (Ctrl+alt+backspace)

If the fonts are still to small, change 100 to 110, if they are to big, change to 95. Play until the font size is best for you.

Worked great!

Thank you

I can't increase de font size
 

I have the opposite trouble. I see all the desk fonts so small that is impossible to read anything. However I can open a terminal and the fonts are normal, so with Konqueror navigator (I can open them because I see well its icons:-) I tried editing as root /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers but noth¡ng change, any idea? thanks

pedregal.........

if you're using KDE, go to Kontrol Center (IE: configure your desktop) & look in the following places for font settings............. components->file manger ......... & look n feel->fonts. try changing the settings there. a restart of KDE might be neccessary for it to take effect.

if you're using Gnome or another DE, i'm sure there's something similar to change fonts, but i wouldn't know where, offhand.
