Fonts Page

TotalView uses two fonts, a fixed width and a variable width font. Program data is displayed in a fixed width font. User Interface menus, buttons, labels, and dialog boxes use a variable width font.

The fonts you can select are those already installed with your X server.

You can select a variable width font by either selecting the font family and size or by entering the exact font name. In the first case, TotalView will attempt to select a compatible font. In the second, TotalView uses the name you select.

The following controls set the user interface font. This is the font TotalView uses when it want to display information using a variable width font. For the most part, this is the information that is not part of your code.

Select by family and size

Use the controls in this area to indicate the Family and the Size of the variable width font. The font Family indicates the kind of font that will be used; for example, Helvetica or Times Roman. The Size indicates the point size at which TotalView displays characters in the Family are displayed.

Select by full name

When you select a font name, you must supply the complete font name. The xlsfonts program supplied with your X server lists the fonts you can use.

The remaining settings are used when TotalView displays code and data. Using these controls, you can also select a font family and a font size.
