How do i make the text larger?
Configure Desktop - Appearance - Fonts
Try adjusting up a size
These are my settings

check your use of anti-aliasing too.
Could u take a screenshot of how u do it
Cause i cant see where the diffrent icons take me, and i’ve never tried it before.
As a sidenote, it’s also possible the the display driver is having trouble figuring out what the DPI (Dot Per Inch) setting is correct for your monitor and thus the fonts are completely incorrect.
i think that it may can be that, because there is also missing like 3-4 cm, in the right side of my moniter, its just black there. And on ubuntu, there was nofthing wrong.
Do you know how i can fix it?

It’s likely due do a wrong dpi setting.
You can fix that by specify the physical dimesions of your
monitor screen to sax2.
Bring up sax2 and I think it’s under Monitor Change -> Display Size
If everything fails and you are using an nVidia card with the nVidia binary drivers, you can force the DPI by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the same section as it states nVidia as the driver, add a line that says:
Option “DPI” “96 x 96”
or
Option “DPI” “120 x 120”
What the correct number is depends a bit on your display size - for a 24" (1920x1200) it would be 120, for a 19" (1280x1024) 96 would be optimal.
As Cox suggested, you should be able to do it in sax2 also - remember to set your monitor, your display size and other information there correctly of course!
