Ubuntu :: Equivalent To DOS's WIDTH Statement - Make The Font Size Smaller?
Jul 22, 2010
Each version of Ubuntu I've used, the size of the text in the virtual consoles (Am I allowed to call it "screen resolution" if it's a CLI?) has varies widely; some versions had the consoles in 80x24 text mode while others used much higher resolutions.this version of Ubuntu seems to use 80x24 characters, which looks really ugly on my 17" screen. Is there any way to make the font size smaller? QBASIC had a WIDTH command to change the number of rows and columns of characters,

I would like to know how to make the file browser column width smaller than I can normally adjust with the mouse. I have minimized with the mouse, it is still too wide. Is there a minimum column width setting I am supposed to specify somewhere?

I want to set my editor's font as Monaco-11, but it has no anti-aliasing effect. And when I set it to Monaco-12, anti-aliasing effect works. How can I make it also work for Monaco-11? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10

Does anyone know of a way to make the hulu screen size smaller? The smallest that I can get it is still taking up about 1/4 of my screen.,

If I open my 3.3MB .jpg file in Microsoft Paint and re-save it as .jpg it will right away loose it's size and go down to 1.5MB and still keep the good quality.
I have 100s of these picture files, so I can't set down and do it one by one in Paint.
I am wondering if there is any command in Centos 5.4 or tool that I can use to not only make these files size smaller but also to standardize their size to let's say 800 X 600. The latter is not really needed but it will be bonus if someone can guide me.
I am running a php photo gallery script and it takes way to long to load the picture hence the requirement to lower the size for all the files.
I know that there is "mogrify" and "convert" but I think they don't work without GIMP. I don't have GIMP installed and I do install it I think it goes on to install a lot of gnome libraries which I am afraid might break my server or overload it too much. My CentOS doens't have any GUI or gnome package to it and I want to keep it simple.

When trying to make my Xfce desktop in Debian 7 (wheezy) look the same way as in Xubuntu 12.04 (precise), I am able to (by copying some files from Xubuntu packages) make the fonts render the same way, set up the same desktop and icon themes etc and make everything look identical, with the exception of the fonts...
Since that, if I choose the font "Sans 10" for my desktop, in Debian - with all the same anti-aliasing options, and such, that I use in Xubuntu - the text looks smaller, everywhere, compared to Xubuntu.
So... How come this happens, if I have chosen the same font "Sans" with the same size "10"?
Below, are the different results, depending on the OS in question.
In Debian Xfce, I get this:
While, in Xubuntu, I get this:
I remember this same thing happening, once, when I was experimenting with setting up an Openbox desktop environment, on top of an Ubuntu 12.04 command line install, where, if I used LightDM, as the login manager, I would observe this same font size "reduction" (in, at least, some of the applications), with the theme I was trying to set up, while, if I used GDM, as the login manager, I would not observe this same font size reduction. (And, so, it seemed that some GTK library(?), being used by the GDM, prevented this from happening(?)...)
Also, I read somewhere, on the Internet, that Xubuntu builds Xfce on top of GNOME(?) (libraries, I guess)...
Could it be that, by installing some GTK library, the fonts will "return" to normal size? Or, do I have to configure something else, somewhere?
(P.S. - I've also tried choosing the size "11", in Debian Xfce - in case it's a matter of different values used, for the numbers, in each OS - but, if I do so, it only makes the text bigger than in Xubuntu, with the size "10"...)

Recently I installed some of the MS Office 2007 fonts onto my Ubuntu 10.10 machine in order to use them. Unfortunately, a few of them look really blocky at font sizes smaller than 16 pt. The two i'm having issues with are Calibri and Cambria. I don't seem to have this issue with any other set of fonts. Here is a screenshot of the issue in question. I remember having this same issue on 10.04, before I upgraded, if it means anything.
By the way, I took the fonts from a windows machine, on which the fonts were working properly.

I just started the latest Ubuntu and like Unity a lot but I have a question about the application launcher.I have added a few applications to this launcher but the problem is it now takes up more than the screen. It seems if I scroll through it I can have it scroll down to use more applications.What I'd like to do is either make the application icons smaller so that they can all fit on the screen without me having to scroll or either make it wider so that there can be two vertical rows of application icons.Are there any options to do this or make any other changes to the application launcher?

In 10.4 I had set my default terminal size to my screen width - I type some long commands. After running an update this morning, my terminal comes up in the install default size. Using the preferences dialog, I cannot find the control to set the default width. Has it been removed? I hope I'm looking in the wrong place, but I have a chilling feeling that it's been dropped or perhaps just accidentally commented out.

I use ioctl to get the console window size (the SSH window). I use the following code:
struct winsize ws;
int returnValue = ioctl(pCommandStructure->terminal, TIOCGWINSZ, &ws);
int numberOfColumnsOfTerminalWindow = ws.ws_col;
When I debug on linux pc, it gives me the correct window width. But after I try it on router (this is my enventual place where my code shall run), ioctl always give me 0 width, that is, numberOfColumnsOfTerminalWindow == 0. but the returnValue is 0 which means that the function call succeeds.

I feel really stupid posting this, but I can't find what I am looking for. I feel like I have a decent understanding what is going on, but I am missing something very elementary. I have several mpc clientpro machines that are all in one's with 17" monitors built in. I can't get any resolution to fill the screen. I have been playing around with settings in xrandr, to no avail.
In windows xp it is usually ran at 1024x768 resolution which is supported. However there will be about 2 1/2 inches of blank space on the right side of the scree. and then another 2 1/2 inches of blank space on the bottom followed by about 2" of what seems to be a mirror of the top 2". I can change to several different resolutions all taking up different sizes of the screen, but nothing will fill it.
I understand I can't just do anything I like, like it would be unreasonable to expect the card to output 1920x1080. But can't I get it to at least fit the screen? Whether it was 1024x768 or 1152x864 or 800x600.
I have been searching and searching, and I think I am just simply misunderstanding a key term that is not allowing me to find more information on this. Something like panning, overscan, etc.

I'm looking for some suggestions to create smaller size video files with the following equipment: Logitech Webcam C200 (USB), 640 x 480 resolution, 30 fps, using guvcview software. I'm new to doing video and wish to make short, up to 10 minute, clips. The above configuration puts out only .avi files and those files are huge. One small 30 second clip will cost 30 to 35 MB.
I have a friend using a Flip video camera putting out 30 second clips at 3 or 4 MB tops and the video quality is head over heels better than mine. His Flip system puts out MPEG-4(mp4) files. Other than buying a Flip video cam is there any way I can produce smaller file sizes? Maybe better quality too?

I have been using Debian on and off since Sarge and it's not as long as most people but since I can remember, the installer has always had some issues and I was wondering if you guys who use Debian religiously could answer these questions for me:
1. Difference between "Netinst" & "Business-card" besides the size being smaller? It seems like the Netinst installs two different kernels. One dated kernel to get the system up and running and then it downloads the latest one where I think the 'Business-card' ISO simply downloads the latest kernel and nothing more which seems preferred. Am I wrong?
2. After I install using "Netinst", why when I immediately perform an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' are there multiple packages to upgrade? I thought the whole point was to install fresh updated packages, no?
3. Why has nobody fixed the installer progress bar from hanging on 33%? As far as I have been using / installing Debian, the installer progress bar is always stuck on 33% & it still installs fine but never shows the user it's exact progress. I would think the developers would have resolved this after 4 years by now...

I am using OS 11.0 Every time I boot my laptop (dell inspiron 9300 - ati video M300). I get the desktop display as 1920 X 1200. This is too large for my default. I use KRandRTray to resize back to 1024 X 768. How can I set 1024 X 768 as the default but still have the option to go to 1920 X 1200?

this might be a silly question, it might not. I need to send upload some documents (scans) I have onto a website, and there is a limit to how large the pdf can be. (7MB) The file I have - and I can upload only one - is about 10 MB. Is there any command with which I can make this pdf smaller without compromising the resolution too much

A couple of days I started using latex and have still one question about the table width. My table is too wide for a page. How can I adjust it so that it fits on the full width of a page? Can I use a command or do I have to specify each column widths by hand?
My table looks like this;
I did try several commands likeextwidth, esizebox, setlength but didn't found the solution yet.

I've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. I am still adapting to it but. Can I make this dock smaller? It is TOO big. I can't fit more than a few icons there. Also, I am a little lost. Where is the menu? I can't find system settings. How do I edit launchers on Dock? What command do I have to use in order to restart the panels? (on 10.10 I was just killing the gnome panel and it restarts by itself)

I want to modify and make smaller changes in a PDF document. How do I do that in Ubuntu?? I have heard it is possible with Open Office when you have some extensions to it? I have tried PDF Mod but you can't make much with it. I need to change text inside the document.

We are building our C++ project in Kdevelop IDE. Every time we run "Run Configure" from the "Build" menu, a file named "libtool" gets automatically generated. This file contains a statement as "ECHO="echo"".f we run "Automake", without modifying the "libtool" the system hangs and theputer needs to be restarted.Therefore every time we run "Run Configure" we need to include the line "echo="echo"" below the statement "ECHO="echo"" manually.I think a script can be written which does the above on its own.I am not a shell script programmer, I know the good tutorials for shell scripts are available on the net, but learning scripting only for this task would be time-consuming and painful.

Been using Ubuntu 9.04 for a while now but I've always felt that the interface is too chunky. The buttons, text, dialogs are waaaay too big. Is there any good solution to reducing the size of everything, including dialogs and buttons. So far, I have been dropping the DPI with mixed results. It mostly affects fonts so it hasn't fully met my needs.Hence, I am posting on here to see how other people manage the chuny-ness of Ubuntu. Have you just gotten used to it? Have you got your own workaround? Have you converted to kUbuntu!?

I have a dual-boot Vaio, with Windows Vista (for WOW only,I promise!) and Ubuntu 10.10. I have a HDD with 250 GB, where 170GB is for Ubuntu and around 40 GB for Windows and a Swap that is 6 GB. This Swap seems a little too big, so how o I edit its size (make it smaller like 3GB) and then add the "free space"-leftovers to the big Ubuntu partition ( / )?

I think 32 pixels is still very big for a launcher, can I shrink them more somehow in Unity? I'm talking about Ubuntu 11.04, of course.

I'm running Hardy 8.04.. Once in a while when I boot up my system, all of my fonts are different - everything is very large. If I go into the screen resolution, I have no choices higher than 800x600. If I restart the system, there is a good chance that the screen resolution will go back to normal. what I can do to fix it?
