How does one change fonts in the XASTIR maps?

 

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3, with Direwolf and Xastir. The fonts in the Xastir are just about unreadable on a seven inch screen. Is there a reasonable way to change the fonts to some very plain? The defaults have a shadow on them that totally blur things.

I don't know if this is the right fix Dennis, but I was finding the Mapnik tiles in Xastir were quite jagged, along with the font. I read that the fix was to press the F4 key, something about realigning the Mapnik scales.

Sorry I have no further detail as to the reason etc, but it certainly worked on a Debian Bookworm laptop.

Although there are probably many Direwolf users that also use Xastir, ...
I have to believe that you will get a much better set of eyes looking at an Xastir font issue in an Xastir forum.

Just a thought.

I agree with Rob here as this Direwolf forum is not the place to get help with Xastir.? That said, I'm also on the Xastir email list and this has been discussed there many times.? I recommend to search the archives and try some of the previous solutions other people implemented.? If none of those work for you, then it would be time to create a new post about your issue, what you've tried, and what you need specific help with.? Good luck!

Agree that this is not the correct forum to discuss Xastir specifically. That said, there is an option labeled "text on black" or something of that nature that IMO is much easier to read.

The reason I came here is because I did search for an XASTIR group, and none existed, and the only search result brought me here with this description:

"It can also be used as a virtual TNC for other applications such as APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir, APRS-TW, YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack, Winlink Express (formerly known as RMS Express, formerly known as Winlink 2000 or WL2K), BPQ32, Outpost PM, Ham Radio of Things (HRoT), and many others."

If someone knows of another and better place, I'll gladly remove this discussion...

Thanks for the suggestion Bob, it didn't make any difference in my case...

I've searched Google, prior to posting here, and did see the "Text on Black" suggestion, but I don't see it in my version as per their suggestion. Maybe it moved or was eliminated?

On the front page of the Xastir website, the first entry in the Resources section is a link to Xastir mailing lists.

Martin is correct and on that page, it links to a way to search all posts.? For your ask, search for the word "fonts":

Thank you Martin, David and others. Odd, my Google search never turned those links up. I'll dive into them and see if I can find something that fixes things and will report back. I'll leave this post up since others may come along looking for the same info.'
