Font sizes

(1/2) > >>

exminer:
When I open a gedcom file in Ancestris I find all of the text in every window is too small for my tired old eyes. I can't find how to fix this problem. Is there a way to increase the size of the font Ancesttis uses?

Thanks.

Paul:
I've tried to find a solution to this too but without success, hopefully an answer will be forthcoming. The font is not only small but isn't smoothed so is unpleasant to look at. Seems odd that we can set output font but not interface font.

Zurga:
Hi,

Ancestris is based on Netbeans (basically, this is a bunch of Netbeans plugins), so we inherit of the standard behavior of Netbeans, including fonts definition.
By default, Ancestris use the value of your system.
If you change your global font settings, it should change the one used in Ancestris.

Nevertheless, I finally find a way to change the size of the font by changing the ancestris.conf file.

Go to the ancestris/etc directory, open the ancestris.conf file and add to the line "default_options" the parameter : "--fontsize 24" (the value 24 is given as example, you can choose the one you want, the default value is 11).
Restart Ancestris and you should see the difference.
Warning : I don't have tested extensively this option. It could lead to cut texts and random effect on windows display.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to work, whatever font size I choose. The relevant line in my ancestris.conf reads:

--- Code: ---default_options="--branding ancestris -J-Xms96m --J-Xmx4g --laf Nimbus --fontsize 18"

--- End code ---

Zurga:
So you should have another conf file in .ancestris/trunk/etc

Here is size 36 example
