(1) I took measure of the screen; I think I could have used Felix's page but stumbled on <https://www.infobyip.com/detectdisplaysize.php> 9.6" diagonal; 8.3" width; 4.7" heigth I set '/etc/X11/xorg.conf/90-monitor' to: DisplaySize 294 165 (2) I turned off 'Force fonts DPI' in the Trinity Control Center and set dpi to 190 via echo Xft.dpi: 190 | xrdb -merge (3) did some settings in 'GTK Styles and Fonts' in TCC; GTK2 fonts are supposed to use Sans Serif 15, Redmond is style; GTK3 is on style TraditionalOk. fooled around re-sizing 'kicker' and with configs in some programs case by case. these measures cleared up most but not all problems. some programs still misbehave: (a) Gimp and LibreOffice have grotesquely large menu fonts. still can't quite find pertinent gtk or program settings. I have install Apache Office yet. (b) icons are too small in Pan; probably something can be fixed in its config. not terribly important. some other icons elsewhere also small. I believe there are a couple of other issues I don't find now in my notes. of course I haven't opened everything that's been installed by default, most of which I will remove anyway. ah, e.g. I see something called 'Music Player' has teeny fonts. I likely won't use it but I'm discontent that I haven't developed a more systematic way to get control of the interface. I guess some of this requires program-by-program skirmishing. I'll explore more and pin things down. Cinnamon runs ok; next run I'll reconnoitre its gtk settings. thank everyone for advice and help. f. -- Felmon Davis Most people are too busy to have time for anything important.
