Increase text size in Ubuntu 10.04 due to having large resolution/monitors
- by Sridhar Ratnakumar
I have 24" dual monitors with 1920x1080 resolution on both of them. Consequently the text appears so small. I use the following text-intensive applications frequently:
Web browser (Google Chrome)
IDE (Komodo)
Terminal (Gnome Terminal)
Email (Thunderbird)
I can configure text size on IDE, Terminal and Email. But for Chrome, it is not a good idea to set proportional font size because often one wants to see the entire (not just proportional fonts) site to be zoomed.
So I am asking:
Is it possible to increase DPI in Ubuntu (much like on Windows) so as to increase the text size across all apps? OR
Is it possible to set permanent 'zoom' in Google Chrome, using a third-party extension maybe?
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
