Re: [Chimera-users] font change in v1.2303+

Hi, Yes, now that you mention it I think we have confused each other. I am talking about the fonts in the widgets and dialogs and not the annotation fonts in the linux version. I will grab an old install from http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/olddownload.html, and make a screenshot comparing that with the latest 1.2304. I don't think I saw this change in the WinXP version, but I'll check that too. Thanks, Sabuj Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Sabuj, It seems like Greg's response was about the labels on the structures, whereas you said "gui" which I interpret as the widgets and dialogs. Were you asking about these? I noticed that the font for the "Really Exit?" dialog is now different, but I haven't seen differences in other dialogs. Elaine

Ah ha, yes, those fonts may or may not have changed depending on which window manager you're using and what you have in your ~/.Xdefaults file. The old chimera picked it's own font (12 pixel high Helvetica) unless you had a specific font set in your .Xdefaults. The new chimera tries to figure out which window manager you're using and use its fonts, or fallback to screen-size depdendent defaults. Unfortunately, it was missing support for the gnome2 desktop that ships by default in Red Hat. That will be fixed in the next snapshot (probably tommorrow). - Greg
