Java applications and font size
in [Debian]
|
From: Andreas Goesele on 7 Aug 2010 08:10 Hi, after I switched to 1280x1024 as resolution fonts in Java-Applications are too small for me. I can change some fonts at runtime by passing -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-18 and -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=Dialog-18 to java. Unfortunatelly this leaves in the applications I tested some fonts unchanged. -Dswing.plaf.metal.titleFont=Dialog-18 -Dswing.plaf.metal.menuFont=Dialog-18 -Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=Dialog-18 -Dswing.plaf.metal.smallFont=Dialog-18 all have no effect. Is there any other way I can change font size in java applications at runtime? Thanks a lot!

Have you checked (inside the java app) for a setting to define the interface layout to use in the program? I can select from various flavours, each of one using different fonts: [x] System native (which seems to use the same font type and size as the other desktop applications) [ ] CDE/Motif [ ] GTK+ [ ] Metal [ ] Nimbus Also, you could check that your whole desktop DPI setting is not defined at a very low value.

But still there are some fonts which are too small. Other applications don't react to that option. > Also, you could check that your whole desktop DPI setting is not > defined at a very low value. As a matter of fact the automatic setting resultet in dpi=86, somewhat too small. But even if I set a higher dpi, the java apps I use are not affected. (Other applications - like kde apps - are changing font sizes.) Thanks for your suggestions!

Mmm, I have tested that parameter to launch a java app and had no effect at all so maybe that setting is application dependant, I mean, it could be that the java app had to be coded taking that property into account in order to get it working :-? >> Also, you could check that your whole desktop DPI setting is not >> defined at a very low value. > > As a matter of fact the automatic setting resultet in dpi=86, somewhat > too small.

That was the default setting for GNOME (86 dpi) but was so small I changed to 96 dpi, which I find it more legible. JFYI, within my system (I'm using GNOME), java applications use the same font face and font size I have defined for the desktop font settings (in my case, that is Tahoma 8 pt). What desktop are you using? And have you asked the developer of the involved application? It could be worth a try to send him/her a line asking what can you do to change the font face and size for the GUI :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
