[NF] Text editing font in T-bird/Ubuntu

Author: Pete Theisen

Posted: 2012-03-29 06:38:28   Link

Hi Everybody,

It is getting so that I can't see the text I am writing/editing in

Thunderbird. Can this be bigger on the screen, I mean without using

html text?

The $8 Spell Checker flags the typos, but I can't see the squiggly red

underlines because the screen font is too small for my monitor/glasses

combination.

Regards,

Pete

Can you configure the spell checker squiggly line to be a different highlight?

Just hit 'Ctrl'+'+'.

ie Hold the ctrl key down then tap the + key, it should increase the

font size.

Kind regards

Hi Tracy,

No. Might be able to in html, but I am trying to use text.

Now I know why people keep sending me this all caps 50 point font . . .

Hi Andrew,

Yeah - you would think. Doesn't work in the edit window, though. Unless,

as I said, you use html.

But I am trying to edit and compose in text.

Pete,

Do you have room for multiple monitors? Set one at a lower resolution and

move the window to it.

The Windows 7 tool Magnifier is a great tool, with many different

configurations.

Hi Pete,

Try: Hold the control key and move the mouse wheel.

Hi Tracy,

I do have multiple monitors, but they will not set independently. I

could switch to a different distro, but that is a LOT of work that I

don't have time for right now.

Ubuntu will not run Windows 7 tool Magnifier, and I will not abide

Windows. Not only that, this computer is ten years old so . . .

^^^^^^

Here's how to do it using icedove (Debian's de-branded thunderbird):

Bring up the preferences panel (Edit > Preferences).

On the Display panel's "Formatting" tab under "Fonts" click the

"Advanced" button. Plaintext editing fonts are controlled by the

"Monospace" dropdown boxes.
