[Oberon] Global font change on OLR

[Srinivas Nayak]

Dear Peter,

I am worried if a solution to my problem is difficult to achieve. :-(
I like your trick of renaming a font file. That looks promising.
I will try this once.

Another surprising thing is that, right now I have OLR as well as
NO alpha installed on Virtualbox.
NO on vbox has resolution of 800*600, configured to vesa 2.0 mode 800*600*8.
OLR is bigger than that. Don't know how to check the resolution. (looks like it is 1000+ * 800+)
But in both the Oberon, I see small fonts, hard to read!


Don't you all suffer from small fonts?
How did you adapted your Oberons?


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

For new text, you can make a new line in the System section of Oberon.Text (e.g. below TimeDiff line) with DefaultFont = "Oberon14.Scn.Fnt". However, the textual system has some problems with non standard Font sizes.
