Is it possible to change the font in the structure browser?

Thanks

Are you using UNIX or WINDOWS ?

[tom kirkman]

I am using windows and OSDM 11.6.

Well, Windows I don't know (yet) :(

For those running UNIX:
There are two approaches:

a) Smaller UI (all Fonts)
Start OSD with the option -smallui (or export SDSMALLUI=1)
==> gives you an OSD with smaller fonts, freeing up more space for the viewports. Requires sharp eyes and excellent monitors :D

b) Modify the font resource:
SolidDesigner*objectWidgetBulletinB.labelFontList: helvB10
==> gives you entries in the structure browser with a smaller font

How to modify the resource:
b.1) Place a line like the above in your $HOME/.Xdefaults, and activate the changes with the command
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults

b.2) Place a copy of the SolidDesigner resource file into your home-directory, and modify the corresponding line in there.

b.3) Make a permant change in the SolidDesigner resource file
(.../SolidDesigner../personality/app-defaults/SolidDesigner)
(resp. personality/$LANG/app-defaults/SolidDesigner)

(For more options setting X resources, see the X online manuals ;) )

Of course all this is not interesting for you, but maybe somebody else will find it useful to know.

Curiously, the MS Windows Icon Font controls the size of text in the OSD Browsers and Tables.

You can set this via the Display Properties Dialog: DisplayProperties->Appearance->Item: Icon
Then select the Font: and Size: you want.

In additon to the text labeling of Icons on your desktop, your OSD Browser and Table fonts will follow this setting.

Thanks, that did it.
