    Fonts

    Hi all, I got a new laptop with a high resolution (running a debian-based distro w/ Xorg).
    "./sil -mx11" does not respect my Xorg dpi settings, so by default it is super small. I tried to change the font with the environment variables: "SIL_X11_FONT_0=12x24; export SIL_X11_FONT_0"
    However, I cannot set e.g. 16x25 even though I see this font here: "./lib/xtra/font/16x25.fon"

    Any ideas? Ideally another font that is even bigger.
    Thank you!

    The fonts in Sil's lib/xtra/font directory are used by the Windows front end. I do not know how you would get them to be usable within X11. The command-line utility, xlsfonts, from the x11-utils package will list all the currently-installed fonts that Sil might be able to use.
