Changing the Text Fonts

You may need to change the fonts Prism uses if, for example, its fonts aren't available on your system. Use the resources described below to do this. To list the names of the fonts available on your system, issue the Solaris xlsfonts command. You should try to substitute a font that is about the same size as the Prism default; substituting a font that is much larger can cause display problems, since Prism does not resize windows and buttons to accommodate the larger font.

Use the Prism.textFont resource to specify the font that Prism is to use in displaying the labels of histograms and text in visualizers. By default, Prism uses a 12-point fixed-width font for this text.

You can also change the setting of this resource via the Customize utility; see " Using the Customize Utility".

Use the Prism*XmText.fontList resource to change the font used to display most of the running text in Prism, such as the source code in the source window. By default, Prism uses a 12-point fixed-width font for this text.

Use the Prism*fontList resource to change the font used for everything else (for example, menu selections, pushbuttons, and list items). By default, Prism uses a 14-point Helvetica font for this text.
