Menus are set to 16 points, and they also look fine. But I have to add that menus at 16 points for me might actually be exactly the same size on the screen as menus at 14 points for someone whose desktop settings are different from mine. The problem is that in all the desktop environments there are a multitude of places to change settings for the appearance of the desktop. These are usually scattered over various applets in the settings manager. And the reason these settings are in different applets is that there are different 'places' where an application might have an icon or text, for example, text in an application title bar, text in an application toolbar, body text in an application, and several more. Mind you, this installation of Xubuntu was copied from my old FHD computer (1920x1080); it was not a fresh install. In theory I should have been able to just scale the whole thing, but in practice, on my Xfce 4.12 desktop I discovered that I needed to change individual 'place' settings. I was not shocked when the first time I launched Scribus 1.5.3 from the Appimage everything was a mess with unreadable text in the menus. I had already experienced similar problems with LibreOffice, the GIMP, web browsers, the mail client, and lots more. Every one needed at least a bit of tweaking, even after getting the desktop working well. And a few still have a minor issue. I suspect that if I had installed Scribus 1.5.3 from a .deb file there might had been little or nothing to fix. I blame the Appimage for not knowing proper settings. That's just a guess, though. In any event, 1.5.6svn is working great, except for the small toolbar bug that I already filed in Mantis. I haven't used it much yet, though, so maybe I'll find more issues as I go along. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions! ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
