Chroumium Browser in XBMC Font Problem
#1
Hi all

im a bit stuck hoping for some help

I have XBMC installed on Ubuntu 11.04 Server and most things are running fine
Ive decided to try and get a browser installed so have installed chromium and that is opening up through the advanced launcher plugin

I did have a problem with only half of the display being used

ive now installed fluxbox wm and played with that so that when switching to chromium the screen is now fully used - I think there are two windows in use under fluxbox

Im happy so far

The problem I have now is that the font size in the browser is really small

Ive played with the xorg.conf and added Option "DPI" "200 x 200" and so on

That does do something to the toolbar I have in the bottom of the screen but thats all - the browser text stays the same

heres my xorg.conf as it is now

There is a "Minimal Font Size" option into Chromium. You Need to go to Preferences / Advanced Options / Customize Fonts. Here you can increase the minimum font size to 24. Then you can also play with the Chromium zoom option CTRL+/CTRL- to fit the webpage to the wide of your screen.
