[xubuntu] VLC Menu Font Has Become Gigantic, Unusable

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Today, I started VLC to find that the menu font had become gigantic, to the point where VLC is unusable. The font is so big, that most of a menu doesn't show when opened. I want to change the size of the font, but it's impossible to work in the preferences window, because only a small portion is visible. Is there a way to change the font size from the command line or some other way outside of VLC? I purged and reinstalled VLC and all related packages to no avail. Thanks -Damian (Hardware)

I am using Ubuntu 12.04. Recently, the font size for all of my TTYs became much larger. How can I change the font size back to the default?

According to the Mirror Status page, my mirror is 100% up to date.I don't think changing the font will help since the problem affects at least 3 different fonts (Mutter window title font, GTK+ 3 menu font, Gnome Terminal font, Chomium tab font) simultaneously.

i upgraded my chromium 3 days back..in old version font style and size was ordinay(i mean usual what everyone uses), after the upgradation font style and size got weird..i dont like this font style..i could adjust the size in preference but i could't find out font style option.. i know how to change font style in chrome browser but i dont know how in chromium browser.. does anyone have any idea?

i have a laptop with a high resolution. i installed ubuntu(a linux distro) on it, and then enlarged the system fonts. everything seemed perfect. but recently, i installed matlab on ubuntu, and i found that matlab not fall in with the system fonts, the font in matlab has the original size and too small for me.

How can i change the default font settings in xubuntu? All i can find is the overall font settings in the appearance menu, i want to be able to set things like my monospace font for the terminal?

[lubuntu] font control 1 year 13 weeks ago

It seem Ubuntu desktop has decided it will override font choice in printing and applications. I am using Firefox, and to get FF fonts to where I want them - I have to tweak the desktop etc, fonts.

I am not trying to use a non-system font, just what came with 11.04. Normally, if the font is in the system, the application will use the font of choice.

Root-menu font 2 years 21 weeks ago

Hullo. First-time Linux user here. Feeling the learning curve already, I think.Feel free to tell me if I'm out of line... Is it possible to change the style (font, specifically) of the root-menu without changing the styles of other menu items?I'm excited to learn, and I'm sorry in advance if I'm causing newbie-related grief to any of you lovely people.

I recently set up my Ubuntu installation for the first time and I think it's great, but I'm having problems with Chromium. In Firefox the font size is great; I can just adjust the font size across all web pages by pixels.

I know that:

Default font-is just default Document font-for Documents Window title fonts is for titles.

What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.

Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?
