At least on my system, pressing Return or Enter after changing the fontsize value using the drop-down menu doesn't do anything. What does change the size of the labels in the main window, however, is clicking into that number field. I guess Greg was referring to the case where you had entered a new value directly into the field rather than choosing it from the menu. Elaine On Apr 26, 2011, at 1:12 PM, Greg Couch wrote:
To get the font size to change right now, you need to press the Return or Enter key after changing the font size. So it's a half bug :-)

Dear Mathy, It's not your fault -- looks like a bug to me! I will create a bugreport and put you on the notification list.
In my tests of 1.5.3 and the 1.6 daily build, the 3D label font size is not changing when the value is changed in the Preferences, and even clicking Save does not save or apply the new value.
The current workaround is to manually edit the value in your preferences file. If you had saved nondefault Background preferences, there should be a line something like
'Background': {'Label font': (u'Sans Serif', 'Bold', 18)},
The location of the preferences file should be reported in the "Preferences" category of Preferences. Thanks for reporting this problem, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear all, I try to change the size of the 3D labels in my structure via the preferences/background menu but there is no effect! Strange but changing the font type& bold, italic etc works. I tried a previous version of chimera and there I have the same problem.
The font is always small (about 12?)
The 2D labels I can change font size without problem.
But I know it has worked before. I have no idea what is going on.
I work on A Macintosh G5 with Leopard. Thanks for any suggestions mathy
