Re: [newbie] Increasing font size in Netscape on Mandrake 7.2
Netscape does fonts badly they are small even on 800x600. I have used the following in Mandrake 7.0 Mandrake 7.2. The main problem is that Netscape wants to use 75dpi fonts which is typically too small. You can fix this by specifying the appropriate X resources in your .Xdefaults file: Netscape*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 20 Netscape*documentFonts.xResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 Netscape*documentFonts.yResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 The number 100 can be chosen arbitrarily. For example, if you like your fonts really large than you could use 150 instead. After changing .xdefaults logout and reboot your machine.

Re: [newbie] Increasing font size in Netscape on Mandrake 7.2
type this command in to see rpm -qa | grep XFree and look for anything with "fonts" in the package name. Also, do you have your system setup as a dual boot? P.S. Sorry for taking so long to reply but I had killed my X server trying to compile it and had to trace my errors. Now all I need to do is figure out how to use the cvs for tdfx!

Re: [newbie] Increasing font size in Netscape on Mandrake 7.2
Hi Al, rpm -qa | grep XFree sounds good. I now have a dead video card, when that's swapped out I'll try the command. Thanks for all your great help. ===Keith --- Altoine Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: type this command in to see rpm -qa | grep XFree and look for anything with "fonts" in the package name.

Re: [newbie] Increasing font size in Netscape on Mandrake 7.2
Hi Al, This is embarrasing, but how to check the version of X ?? Typing 'X --help' or 'X -v' at the shell prompt doesn't give me anything useful. Also, how do I check if the font servers are started or not? Can you give me the commands for those two piece of info, then I'll reply.

Well, can't help you with the font server question but typing in: X -version Should give you all the info you need (and more!) about your X version. ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/
