Tips on Using Screen Magnifiers

Use screen magnifiers, such as ZoomText, MAGic, or SuperNova, to enlarge and enhance everything on your computer screen.

Screen magnifiers can support both character-based terminals and X-Window-based VNC.

The following are tips for screen magnifiers:

  • If you are using the screen reader function of the screen magnifier (ZoomText screen reader), then you should use a character-based terminal as described above.

  • If you are using a VNC, decide your preference for a window display, for example, TWM or ICE. A display setting for ICE can be done with the following:

vncserver -geometry 1600x950 :2

1600x950 specifies the display size, and :2 specifies the VNC display number.
