Small fonts in debian sarge
« on: September 21, 2004, 10:44:57 PM »
Hi friends,

I have just installed debian sarge in my computer, then installed amule with apt-get. everything works fine BUT amule is using very small fonts so it is very dificult to read something on it. Should I install some special font to see text properly in amule? This is the font section in my XF86Config-4 file:

Section "Files"
        # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
    FontPath    "/usr/local/share/fonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
    FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts"
EndSection

Any help would be appreciated.

Just thinking about the complain to small font size, I was thinking if there is anyway to specify which font should aMule use...I think the font size is pretty big, but have found no way to make it smaller. Using aMule 2.0.0RC5 on Mandrake 10.0

Thanks.

Seagull,

There is no relation between aMule and the gtk beeing used. The relation is between wxGTK and GTK. If wxGTK is compiled with GTK2+ support, aMule will use GTK2+ otherwise, GTK+ will be used.

Cheers!

Yep, true.  :P

Anyway, just a warning to change the right files (and some gui config programs i used only changed GTK2)  ?(

By the way, how about an option to show only the icons?

Seagull,

In aMule case, you would not get a lot from only showing the icons (just hiding the text, is that what you want?), unless you change the size of the icons too, to save space, correct me if I am wrong, please.

So, basically, you will have to convince another developer :P to do that, because messing with interface is not my strongest skill :D

Cheers!

I made a test, by changing the entries on muuli_wdr.cpp (which works for all but the connect button which is changed in other files), and it does save a lot of space (all the toolbar appears on 800x600, with plenty of space), its the labels that take the space (which varies with the language used, of course)..

I sugested it since i remembered it from emule (plus, at least), and something i used then. If it is of any interest, thats another story (since it wont solve the oversized preferences windows).
