Changing fonts

Configuring default font size and resolutions

You can change the default point size of fonts provided by the font server. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Edit the font server configuration file. By default this is /usr/lib/X11/fs/config.

  3. To change the default point size, edit the value of the keyword default-point-size. For example, to make the default point size 12pts, change the keyword line to this:
       default-point-size = 120
    
    You can only specify one default point size.

  4. To change the default resolutions, change the default-resolutions keyword. For example, to specify resolutions of 75 dpi only, change the keyword to this:
       default-resolutions = 75,75
    
    To specify multiple resolutions, specify the resolution you want, each separated by a comma.

  5. To make the changes take effect, run the fontserv command:

    fontserv re-read
    fontserv flush
