Fluent graphics window font

burgreen · April 21, 2011, 21:44

We recently upgraded my linux box, and the size and look of Fluent's font inside its graphics window changed to something big and ugly.

How can that font or at least its size be changed?

Here is how to change fonts from bash:

$ export HOOPS_TEXT_FONT="name=(helvetica.pfa)"

where the font name is located in <local Fluent installation>/<version>/fluent/lib/fonts

When Fluent starts up, the HOOPS graphics window will use the assigned font.

$ Fluent -env

will list the HOOPS_TEXT_FONT variable that gives the current list of fonts selected for HOOPS to use.
