| 3430.1 | How to change the Hyperhelp in ProbeWATCH: | FOUNDR::SKABO | Expect Nothing U never disappointed | Tue Apr 09 1996 12:39 | 17 |
| To change the Hyperhelp in ProbeWATCH:
The fault size is specified in the file /usr/kits/PROBEwatch/HyperHelp.
This is the app-defaults file for HyperHelp.
The line of interest is right at the beginning:
! Used for display resolution
HyperHelp.dpi: 75
Changing the 75 to a larger value increases the font size for the body
of the HyperHelp document. 120 and 100 both look good to me, although
100 seems to be crisper than 120.

| 3430.2 | changing HyperHelp.dpi does not help | PRIVAT::OTTO | getting better all the time | Tue Apr 09 1996 14:54 | 16 |
| Hello Tom,
thanks for Your quick answer, but I am afraid I can't see any effect here
when changing the resource "HyperHelp.dpi:" in the app-defaults file
"/usr/kits/PROBEwatch/X/HyperHelp"
To get an effect that should be visible I once used a value of 175 as one
extreme and in a second test I used 20 as the value for "HyperHelp.dpi:"
But in both cases I don't see any difference. Did I miss anything ?
By the way the Version from HyperHelp is V4.0.2

| dpi == dots-per-inch
A bigger number just makes the characters clearer, not bigger,
and only does that if there are fonts installed for that resolution.
Look for another parameter to twiddle, maybe something about font size.
Sorry I'm not familiar with PROBEwatch to be more specific.

| Hi,
These are the only two resources in the app-defaults file
"/usr/kits/PROBEwatch/X/HyperHelp" that carry the word "font" in.
I could not find any other Resource that I could imagine of that has something to
do with the font size of the Helptext itself.
Once again to make it clear: I want to change the font lets say from
Helvetia with 8 Points to Helvetica with 12 Points.
! Set default font
!HyperHelp*fontList: *-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-200-*-*-*-*-*-*
HyperHelp*fontList: -*-HELVETICA-BOLD-R-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-1
! Topics Found Dialog
.
.
HyperHelp*TopicsFound*scr_list*fontList: fixed
Thanks

| HI,
*font and *Font are typical resources. What happens when you set
HyperHelp*font: to the font you want?

Hi ,
as I wrote before I can modify size fonts in the menues
but none of the *font, *Font.... resources have any effect on the font
/fontsize that is used for the helptext itself.

I think you're getting warmer here. Try the commented out one.
The 200 and 120 may be sizes.
Also, try to find the directory where your fonts are stored.
Maybe you can map the font file names to those coded names
above, and see if you have any more choices.
