5846.0. "How to set DECwindows TPU menu font ?" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" () Mon May 12 1997 04:10

Hi,
   Could anyone give my customer a hint how to define the font resource
   in the TPU.DAT file in order to get a bigger font when starting
   the tpu editor via

   $ EDIT/TPU/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS

   The problem is that the customer is using a PowerStorm 4D20 graphics option
   with a resolution of 1600x1200.
   And according to him the menu bar is so small that he can not see
   the menu text. The customer also told me that this problem only occurs
   with the TPU application and not with other digital applications like
   the session manager...

 Regards,
        Stefan

 Thanks,
	But actually the customer wants to change the text in the Menu Bar 
	and not in the edit window because the text is to small... 
	( PowerStorm 4D20 -> resolution 1600x1200 )

	The resource might start with Tpu*font ?

Maybe...

Since TPU uses the DECterm widget, I'd try that first.

TPU/EVE never documented the X resources that effect it.

Thanks again,
        But, if I can not find the appropriate widget resource name
        I have to open an IPMT,
        because the customer really needs to read the Menu Bar or the
        Pull Down Menus.
        By the way has anyone seen the TPU DECwindows Interface displayed
        on an 21 inch screen under a resolution of  1600x1200

Stefan, 

Add this line to decw$user_defaults:tpu.dat, 

Tpu*XmRowColumn*fontList:"-bigelow & holmes-menu-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100
-p-92-iso8859-1"

It should work (it works for me).

You can use the font you want.

Regards,
Jean-Marc

Er, um, stick with this conference.  Filing an IPMT against TPU, esp the
DECwindows interface is going to get you a very, very, very slow response time.

EDS does the engineering for it and I think they are only dealing with CLD 
level problems.
