Need to set minimum any font size = 8pt

Hi.

I need to set minimum font size for any applications to 8 pt.
So if application wants to use 7 or 6, I anyway have to see 8 pt.

Thanks for suggestions.

Hi.

If I add to fonts.conf:

<match target=“font” >
<test compare=“less” name=“size” >
<double>8</double>
</test>
<edit mode=“assign” name=“size” >
<double>8</double>
</edit>
</match>

Will it help to change all fonts which smaller then 8 be 8 pt?

Thanks.

-welcome-

you might consider telling us what operating system and desktop
environment you are using–i’ll guess openSUSE 11.1 with KDE4 and
suggest you find in the main menu “Personal Settings Configure
Desktop” and then go “Appearance & Themes” > “Fonts” and set your font
needs there…

if you are not using that combo (11.1/kde4) and/or want to edit a
config i’d suggest you read at least this (and other info) inside
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.
LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN ‘local.conf’.

then,

  • while waiting for other input (i’d not a real guru)

  • read more in the installed documentation, try:
    <file:///usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/sec.x11.fontconfig.html>

  • backup

  • put your draft code (maybe revised after reading the doc) in
    /etc/fonts/local.conf

  • restart X

  • see what happens (i have NO idea what your code will do–there is a
    forum here named http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/ but
    i almost never go there as it causes only headaches…someone there
    can maybe give some programming hints, i do not know…)

  • come back and tell us what worked (for the next guy to find with google)

Thanks for reply.

Problem is that some **** **** set fonts how they like.

So, I decide to go by different way:

  1. I’ve made font dpi = 96, system was 86, after that 7 pt became readable (without anti-aliasing because I like my eyes)
  2. Then from qtconfig I adjust font size and every thing is fine now.

Thanks.
