That works just great, Ming. Can't tell you how often I have looked at
that GTK setup window and not seen the font button. Unless you would
like to use this bug report to make that button more obvious, you can
close this bug report as a silly question.

Thanks,
Clayton

Are you aware of the "scim-setup" program?  It can be accessed from the
system menus (in GNOME it's System -> Preferences -> SCIM Input Method
Setup) or the SCIM tray icon (right click, choose "SCIM Setup").

In that program, in the Panel -> GTK page, at the bottom right corner,
there is a button after "Font:".  What does it show on you system?
Press that button and choose the desired size.  Does that change the
candidate words' font for you?

Bug#444117: scim: Can't see Chinese characters clearly on 12-inch 1024x768

2007-09-26 Thread clayton
Package: scim
Version: 1.4.7-1
Severity: normal


SCIM is an outstanding piece of software, except for a little eye-strain

I have a thinkpad X20 with a 12-inch 1024x768. When I use SCIM to enter 
simplified Chinese, I REALLY cannot see the characters in the tiny little 
character selector window (the one with the numbered list of 
characters) clearly. I also can see no way for me to change the font size in 
that window.

For the record, I have another 14-inch 1024x768 thinkpad where visibility is 
better, but the characters are still smaller then I personally would like.

Especially for us non-native Chinese users, it would be better to err on the 
side of a font that is too big then a font that is too small. If I could 
control it, I would make that character selector VERY big.
