Hi

I am using laptop with 11" screen and 1366x768 resolution. I just tried out Trisquel, but I can read descriptions and texts in this OS only with difficulties, they are much smaller than in Windows 7. Is there some way how to make these texts bigger? Switching resolution to 800x600 is not a solution for me, as the result is not sharp. I already managed to install NoSquint for Firefox and it functions very well, but still I would like to be able to use OS itself.

Thank you

regards

JL

Hi Jonathan_Livingston!

If you want to change default fonts to make them bigger go to Trisquel Menu. Definitions of system (my default language is not english so i am translating it as i am reading on my pc). After that on "advanced settings" > "fonts" and there you can change the size of fonts: default fonts, document fonts; monospace fonts, etc.
Best regards

Btw, if you are looking for a nice UI font, check out Roboto. It's not in the Trisquel 6 repos (will be in 7), but you can nab the .deb here:
