Font A.D Mono

[jnunezcr]

Hi,

Rockbox Utility is a great application, but under my Linux (3.12.9-desktop-1.mga4) the application uses A.D. Mono font which is difficult to read.

Is there any way for changing to another font?

Thanks in advance.

Interestingly, my shows with a _different_ unreadably inconveniently small font - good news, really.

Good because, probably this means it respects X-Windows resource overrides, and you can pick a bigger font through X font resource control.

Bad because, well, it does mean it basically has a bug with its font choices, and also because figuring out how to tell it a better font means learning how to control X fonts in X resources, which is a _bit_ arcane and ancient.

But probably, you can just set an environment variable, and make it use a different font.  Not sure, mine isn't bad enough for me to try to futz with it.

Install qtconfig from your distro and set it up the way you like. Or compile it yourself. We cannot make the precompiled binary work equally well on all distributions because of the number of distros. This is not a Rockbox Utility thing, it's a Qt one.

We might be able to cut down the number of dependencies by linking more libs statically. This is work to figure out (and how to do that for Qt, since that links to much more libs than Rockbox Utility does). Patches welcome.

Thanx for both answers, I was quite sure that it wasn't an issue from the application, but it was just for confirming that.

And in the case I were not the UNIQUE person in the world with this problem, if someone knew where to touch for changing the font selection/substitution.

Well I will be trying to look for workarounds and if I find how to fix it, I'll publish the solution in the forum.
