Merry Christmas everyone!
Thanks. And a happy solstice to you.
I'm trying to increase the font size in X11. I use it to access an
Ansys GUI on a Linux computer via ssh tunneling.
I've been reading previous posts, such as "X11 Applications Font
Size" but with little success on my part. I cannot get the font to
increase so it's really difficult using the program.
Generally speaking, font sizes are up to individual applications, not
X11 per se. To find out how to set the font size for any given
application, you have to study the documentation for that
application, or ask someone who knows it.
It could be that the application takes the screen resolution into
account when deciding on the font size in pixels, in which case it
would help to run your X11 at the proper resolution. If your screen
has a resolution of 130 dpi, say, but the program thinks it's 96 dpi,
then fonts will appear small. To fix that, if you are running
2.3.2_rc4, just run
defaults write org.x.X11 dpi -int 130
(replace 130 by the actual resolution of your screen) and restart X11.
