Thanks for the tip Florian about using the <small> markup, it will be usefull for me.<br><br>Regarding gFTP I have choosed to reduce the font size globally in order to keep everything on one screen. I have searched how to apply a different style to all the widgets (eg: use osso-SmallFont instead of osso-SystemFont) but failed. So the method I used is to call:
<br>gtk_rc_parse_string("style 'osso-SystemFont' { font_name = 'Nokia Sans 11.625' }"); <br><br>I think the soft remains very useable with a stylus (but forget about using the finger). But of course I'll consider users feedbacks.

Hi,<br><br>Nicolas schrieb:<br><div class="Ih2E3d">> I have compiled gFTP which is a Gtk FTP client, but the UI interface has<br>> many things to display, and the default font size is too big to be<br>> usable. Same problem with PcManFM which is a lightweight Gtk filemanager.

<br>can do to reduce the amount of space you need. (Make it simpler, reduce the<br>amount of displayed information...) If there are areas where it really makes<br>sense to reduce the font size you can use a markup switch (<small>) to make it
<br>smaller then the default size.<br><br>Greetings<br><br>Florian<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>The dream of yesterday Florian Boor<br>is the hope of today Tel: +49 271-771091-15<br>
