Fonts

The fonts used by the GFE can be controlled.  For alignment purposes the fonts should be non-proportional. There are five sizes of text fonts used in the GFE which are identified from 0 through 4 to increase/decrease the size of the text.

The TextFont* entries are used by the various editors and visualizations, in other words, everything else on the gfe. They should be ordered from smallest font to largest font and be all from one font family.  The GFE software is coded to use specific entries.  If you don't like the defaults, they can be changed elsewhere in the configuration file.

TextFont0 =  "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-10-*"
TextFont1 =  "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-12-*"
TextFont2 =  "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-14-*"
TextFont3 =  "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-18-*"
TextFont4 =  "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-sans-24-*"
 

Background Color for Drawing Panes

The color which will be used as the background for all of the display panes may be specified.  If you change this entry, you may also want to change the sample colors and image legend colors to prevent conflicts.

bgColor = "black"
