comments Hi Viewers,

I have a problem possibly related to this thread: Re: hard to read fonts in view
for Linux

My problem is the fonts which you set up for labeling axis and peaks in the
File:Prefs:Fonts

I try setting these to everything under the sun using various font syntaxes and
I end up with something like Helvetical size 16 which is much too big for my
striptools to be useful and am completely unable to change them. I am running
RedHat 7.1 with the xfs fonts set up and use Gnome/sawfish, although this also
occurs in enlightenment. This problem surfaced when I upgraded from RH 6.2 but
even then I was unable to change the fonts. nmrview and both
exhibit this problem.

I tried everything Curt suggests (see bottom of email)

Am I missing something? What is the correct font syntax? Do I have to install
font paths somewhere other than the xfs (which sets font paths for X11 as well)?

Any help appreciated,

Bob

just catching up on the nv mailing list after being busy
for a while...you might want to check out the Linux
Font Deuglification How-To (search that and it will
pop up). It wouldn't surprise me if Bruce changed the
font to something that is forcing your box to resize some
other font. I don't seem to get these problems
(my exact setup is RH ., Enlightenment 0.16
as the window manager, installed all the fonts off of the win98
cdrom)
