wine users - Oct 2007 - Screen font size

Probably very simple, but I cannot find it:

Is there a way to increase the size of the screen fonts used by Wine and apps 
running under Wine ?

Cheers,
 
Ron.

	There is setting in winecfg in current version but it have strangely low 
maximum limit so it is useless in most cases. This is how I do it. Execute to 
make sure that WINE is really closed (if you forgot this step then registry 
changes may "magically" disappear):

wineserver -k

	Now open registry with your favorite editor. I like nano, but you can use 
kwrite or any other you like:

nano ~/.wine/system.reg

	Search for "LogPixels" there. You will see something like this:

"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

	Change 60 to something more suitable. For example this is what I use with my 
two displays (one with resolution 1680x1050 and another one with 1280x1024):

"LogPixels"=dword:00000095

	Save the registry. Now you can try to launch notepad to see the result:

wine notepad

	If you don't like the result repeat all steps. If you like it then
you're
done.
