Menu fonts tiny - how to change size?

[winterflaw]

Hi.

I've been trying for a day or so now to fix this problem. I'm now stumped.

I have a text editor (PFE, for those who know it) which has an MDI interface.

The main window menu fonts are tiny. Miniscule. I need to make them larger, to be able to use PFE.

Question is, how to make them larger? in this on my own so far I have failed.

I have done the following;

1. installed the corefonts package (and these fonts are available - I see then in Wordpad)
2. Modified LogPixels - this has zero effect on the menu font size
3. Added to win.ini the following;

[Desktop]
MenuFontSize=28

Which also has no effect.

Using Wine 1.8 rc4.

(Finally - bit of web-site feedback; I just tried to post and only THEN - after making an account, logging in and typing this post - do I find out my IP is blacklisted (Tor). Fatal error checks should be performed EARLY, not LATE).

The menu fonts are normal-sized on my system.

Try running in an emulated virtual desktop (on the Graphics tab in winecfg).

Interesting. It didn't directly help - the font size did not change - but it has I think indirectly helped; I am now quite strongly of the view this is actually an *XFCE* problem, NOT a WINE problem. I finally joined up the dots, and realised the same problem exist in the native (non-WINE) VLC player. The menu bar size is tiny - the same size as the PFE bar.

I've read other people having the same problem, but on Ubuntu, and fixing it via Linux font config; but where the font config they used is not availablle through a GUI in XFCE.

Try to add this code in your Quick CSS or custom.css:

#menu-main-menu li a {
font-size: 14px;
}
or

#menu-main-menu li a {
font-size: 14px !important;
}
Just adjust the font size value. Hope this helps.
