Menu font size

[herbert langhans]

Hi List,
I just switched in here, sorry if I ask something you heard a couple of times.

On FreeBSD 7.0 I installed wine, all works well but I cannot find a way to make the menu font bigger. Its tiny on a 1280x1024 monitor.

I tried to modify win.ini:
[Desktop]
MenuFont=Arial
MenuFontSize=18

but no change.

I fiddled with the registry, but couldnt find an option for the menu font size.

Whats the trick??
Thanks
herbs

Run winecfg, select the graphics tab, and increase the DPI.

Austin,
I forgot to mention that I tried winecfg/graphicstab/DPI. It enlarges the content of the prog (like the written text in notepad) but not the menu..

There must be some way to define the font type and size the menu displays. Didnt found much in the documentation too.

Maybe it is related that I use the ttf-fonts from the Unix installation. The ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory is empty. But in notepad I can change to all these Unix available fonts, so wine is able to access it. They should also somehow be available to the menu.

Thats strange.
Cheers

Run winecfg, select the graphics tab, and increase the DPI.

Or "Integration" tab select "Menu text" and change the font size.

Thanks a lot, vitamin!!
A kind of obvious, but just havent seen it. And I started picking in the registry files..

I have no theme installed. Is there a theme which contains all the right font-sizes? If so how to install?
