font size V3.4.0, rev. 1, 64bit (Ubuntu 14.04.1)

Post by simon »

not able to read text due to its small size.

tried changing OS dpi, monitor resolution and QT scaling, all no effect.

then found "guiFontSize_Linux" option and changed to 20

now readable, except for the hierarchy which remains small.

(1920x1080 24in monitor. 100pdi)

Hello,

you should obtain better results by setting value highResDisplay in file system/usrset.txt to 1.

Thanks. With changing the highResDisplay value the font changes from tiny to huge. Is there a way to set the font size in finer steps? I can read now the text very well but it consumes a lot of space on my screen now. I would like to do screen recording.
By the way, I am on Windows 4.2.0 (Rev. 5).

Hello,

are you referring to the font size of the GUI, or the font size of the code editor?
In system/usrset.txt, you have several values you can change:
  • guiFontSize_Linux / guiFontSize_Win / guiFontSize_Mac
  • scriptEditorFontSize
  • highResDisplay (-1=none, 2=enabled, 1=special)
Cheers

Hi, i refer to the scene hierarchy. Its font size is only affected by the value of highResDisplay.

Is there a difference between the 3 options for that variable, i.e. -1, 1 or 2? Does this also happen with CoppeliaSim V4.3?

Cheers

Yes, with changing the values one can set a tiny or a huge font, but nothing inbetween. I can't test the new version 4.3 now, because I don't want to change a productive system with version 4.2. here. When I get access to another computer I will test it. Either way, setting the scene hierarchy font size by a distinct value is a good idea to put on the todo list imho.

Can you share a screenshot when highResDisplay is -1, and when it is 2? You can post it here, or send it to us directly too.

Cheers
