does anybody know how to make the mythtv interface font bigger? I can
change the font size on the mythtv interface menus but when it comes
to the main menus like the "Watch TV" button, I can not change it a bit.
Also if someone know how to change the font of the program guide,
that would be way helpful. I managed to change the font of the OSD
but that was it.
Change or add a DisplaySize line in your Xorg.conf (or equivalent)
Monitor section. You can make the fonts huge that way if you want.
Start with:
DisplaySize 182 121
and then try values like 150 100 and 300 200 instead. Restart the X
server after each change and note the difference.
Note that doing this will change X's computed DPI:
DisplaySize width height
This optional entry gives the width and height, in
millimetres,
of the picture area of the monitor. If given this is
used to
calculate the horizontal and vertical pitch (DPI) of the
screen.
which will result in images and text failing to line up properly in
several themes (i.e. arrows will be too high/low in the MythVideo List
view, "highlighted" or "boxed in" text may not appear in the
highlight/box, etc.) since the themes are designed for displays using
100 dpi.
A better way to change fonts (assuming the theme designer did not
provide for changes using small/default/big font settings--which can be
changed in setup) is to customize the theme and specify the desired font
sizes. Search the archives for more info on how to do this (especially
how to do it without having to edit the theme every time you upgrade).
