Resize ngcgui tab contents in axis?

Trying to resize the ngcgui tab contents when embedded in axis without any sucess. Resizing the font doesn't work - one reason is the font defined in the files is helvetica, it's not in the fonts on 10.04? Tried renaming to to Sans - still nothing. Have changed all instances I can find in the ini and tcl files, but the font and the size stay the same

Any ideas where else to look?

Thanks

Steve

That might be something inside of Axis that controls the font size... and I'm just guessing.

I can ask Dewey as soon as my internet comes back up (on dial up atm and only this computer connects).

Thanks John - looks like the tabs internally are using a different larger font to axis itself so not sure where to look.

I just caught what you were asking, you want to change the font of the tabs not ngcgui. The ngcgui font as I assume you figured out is in the ini file. Are you wanting to make the tab font bigger or smaller, just wondering...

Hi John - it's the font within the tabs - the tabs themselves are too big to fit everything in. For instance on the OD tab there are two positional parameters 11 & 12 - I can't see what they are.

Screen grab shows what I mean. image missing http://www.linuxcnc.org/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Screenshot-cf26687dc33e84de8b0468c6ce5d7884.png

That is the ini setting. Look in the README file:

Look by the options section for font.

Also you need to make the Axis screen wider to see 11 and 12. There is a way in 10.04 I think to define the default screen size for axis but it escapes me at the moment.
