GUI Window Size and Reflections

[Juan Marulanda]

When I open a GUI window using Reflection/X, like ITO or Glance, the window and its fonts are too big. Is the problem in the HP-UX application or Refliction/X? Is there a way to control the window size or the font pitch? Thanks

Hi,

You are probably using the fonts that come with Reflexion, while it is better to use the fonts on your HP server. To achieve this, you must add an element to your Xserver font path.

How? Choose the "Fonts" icon in the Reflexion setup window. Add the following string to the font path:

tcp/:7000

preceded by the correct separator ( a ',', if I remember correctly).

Restart your reflexion, and your fonts will probably look better.

All this requires of course the presence of a font server on your HP machine, but I suppose it is active.

Bye,
Rik

In addition to using a font server, you may want to change the reported resolution of the X server. Some applications may choose fonts based on the dots per inch of the monitor. The Reflection X "Display" settings include the width and height of the monitor in millimeters. If you make those sizes larger the display will seem to have fewer dots per inch which may convince an application to use smaller fonts.

Hi,
We had a problem with helpscreens and font sizes, with the following:

hp 75dpi 100dpi misc decuser ibmuser sunuser

in the "Subdirectories and font servers" field on the FontSettings menu, we got the right screens.
