Hi, is there a way to change the font size or type on the Linux version? The the fonts on Demo.snap does not look very well. The fonts on the Mac version look nicer
Thanks, Hernan.

The fonts that get selected seem to be based on a mapping in 'x11Gobals fontFamily'. If you get that object you'll see a list of names mapped to the font string.
If you have a look in an object called 'outlinerPreferences' you'll see various font slots for sizes and names (eg. largeFontSize, largeFontSpec, etc).
I haven't tried changing these but looking at senders of these methods and objects might help.

thanks! I could change the fonts for menues and text but the outliners look the same... I'm looking for but I could not find it yet. If you know how to do it please let me know

Hi, I found two more slots with editable font specs...
Get a 'generalLeafModel parent'. Open category 'contents label' and select 'edit' from the middle mouse menu over slot 'contentsLabelFontSpec'.
Get a 'generalModel parent'. Open category 'title' and select 'edit' from the middle mouse menu over slot 'titleFontSpec'.
Have fun :)

If you open a shell, type in 'verdana', highlight and choose "methods containing" from the right click menu, you will get many more.
However, there is a limit to getting better fonts on Linux which is that Self currently uses the original X11 font handling system, and most modern distros use the newer Fontconfig/Xft font subsystem. The ugly font people see on Linux is the system failing to find something nice, and falling back on whatever Core font it can find.
This will probably need a VM fix at some stage.
Best, Russell
