Title: Small Fonts When Run From Command Line
Post by: rob_figlabs on October 04, 2005, 08:38:47 pm

If I run my QPE application from the command line it works, but the fonts are tiny - barely readable. If I run it via the launcher it comes up fine. In fact if I run any QPE application it comes up with small fonts.

I need to run from the command line - anyone know what I can do to pick up the proper application look?

for me, when I launch from the console as zaurus user, the fonts and resolution is big, but if I launch as the root user, the font and resolution becomes tiny. if I set the LANG environment variable under the root user, then the font and resolution becomes big just like for the zaurus user.

I observe the same behaviour here. Would also be interested in the reason and maybe a workaround.

Aha! You superstar - that seems to be it. My script is run as root, and I was sudo'ing to zaurus to run the GUI, but for some reason the LANG variable musn't always be set - seems intermittent.
