Hello, John,
Maybe you could help me with this or maybe I've already done it, I don't
know. Somebody in this list told me about a website:
http://www.mandrake.org to go to that had info as how to enlarge the Linux
tinytype fonts.
Well, I went there, got the directions, printed out the directions, located
this config file, opened it using 'gedit' as a text editor, swapped the 75's
for the 100's in both entries, one in the /X11/fs and the line in the
'default-resolutions= 75,75,100,100 to the reverse of that and saved the
changes, got out of gedit, and read the next set of directions which said:
Restart the X Font Server by issuing this command as root:
kill -SIGUSR1 $ (pidof xfs)
It didn't say where I should be in Linux when I was supposed to issue this
command. I thought I should be in the console when I did that, so I got up
the console and, as root, typed out the above command and got this reply:
'unexpected 'p'
I guess something was supposed to have restarted up but nothing like that
happened.
I just wonder if I did everything necessary by simply retyping the changes
in that config file and saving it or did I need to do something else?
I hope I've described this fully to you. Is changing the file enough or do
I have to issue that 'kill' command and if so, where do I issue it? In the
console?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
