Thank you. That gets me most of the way. I wasn't successful in
saving the template. I suspect permissions issue and/or need to
reread some portion of instructions. Rushed right now, should
know more by tomorrow.



That was *not* the problem.
On initial readS I had had not caught the distinction between
  1. default (read hard coded) behavior
  and
  2. creating a template and then forcing that template to be always
 loaded (i.e. a default template).

For *new* spreadsheets it appears you must create a default template.

If you have a high-res monitor with a high pixel density, you
need to tell your desktop manager about it.


I don't have THAT particular problem ;/ I'm using a Lenovo R61 
laptop. The Debian Installer chose appropriate pixel density. My 
problem is being of tri-focal wearing generation.



It will be hidden in
preferences, probably.  For MATE: System:Preference:Appearance,
Fonts Tab, look under Rendering, click Details. At the top will
be Resolution, in dots-per-inch.  My 27-inch, 1440p monitor needs
it set to 107 ppi.


Though not addressing my problem, that served as a very useful 
diagnostic tool.
I found that increasing DPI by ~50% made LibreOffice's help text 
comfortably viewable.


All this caused me to change my search criteria to discover 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/020 which says:


 The visual appearance of the online help is managed by a 
configuration file,

 depending on version:
 LibO_installation/Basis/help/en/defaut.css.
 or
 LibO_installation/help/en/defaut.css.

  You can change the font family, size, color and lines in this 
file. Save the

  modified file and restart LibO (included the Quickstarter).


For my installation of Debian 8.0 the file is:
/usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/default.css

Now that Help is legible, that leaves me only to discover how to 
force default font size for *content* of all spreadsheet cells to 
a suitable value.





If you use Gnome 2 or 3, there is a similar setting.  Other
Window managers and desktops probably have a similar setting.

This will not solve all such problems, but most apps will look
better at the correct ppi density.

Jessie - Mate - LibreOffice Need larger fonts everywhere

2015-06-01 Thread Richard Owlett

I just installed Jessie with Mate DE.
I had no trouble setting font size for menu-bars/drop down menus/etc.
I wish to use LibreOffice Calc.
Two problems:
  1. I need the text of Help Screens to be large enough to read.
  2. I want to force a specific default Font Family and Font 
Size for cells on
 *ALL* spreadsheets. I can set for specific region of 
current spreadsheet only.



Secondary question:
Any way to force minimum Font Size for any operator input 
independent of application?


TIA
