Default System font on Linux
[1/2] from: reichart::prolific::com at: 28-Nov-2001 13:21
Just convinced a friend of mine to start playing with Rebol.
He is running it on Linux.
Rebol comes up using a REALLY ugly font (don't know the name).
How does one change the default font Rebol uses in Linux?
Thanks.

Hello Reichart,
Although I'm not running on Linux I believe my little "quick-font-hack"
function will help you ;)
put this function in your user.r (watch out line breaks):
-------------------snip---------------------------
set-default-font: func [
"sets default font for /View"
font-blk [block! word!] "block of font attributes"
][
system/standard/face/font: make system/standard/face/font font-blk
system/view/vid/vid-face/font: make system/view/vid/vid-face/font font-blk
foreach [w s] system/view/vid/vid-styles [s/font: make s/font font-blk]
]
-------------------snip------------------------------
then you can use for example:
set-default-font [
name: "fixedsys" ;or your favorite font
]
you can also put into the block any of these standard font parameters:
[
name: "arial"
style: none
size: 12
color: 0.0.0
offset: 2x2
space: 0x0
align: 'center
valign: 'center
shadow: none
]
(for more information about these parameters see /View docs)
regards,
Cyphre
