[Xastir] Window Sizing and Shortcuts

[Jason Rausch]

Curt,

OK, thanks for clearing that up.  I did try to change fonts, but that didn't really help.  I tried changing the size of the text smaller, but no matter what I did, the text did not change size.  I noticed it said "fixed", so I guess it wasn't going to change no matter what I put in the box.

Unfortunately, the most important windows "Station", "Timing", ect are the ones that I can't access the buttons on.  Is FVWM something that I can install in Debian Wheezy or is it something that is built into particular X-Windows interfaces?

Thanks for all of the help so far!

No, it won't resize.  Your only option might be to play with fonts.  I remember (from years back) that there were still a few dialogs that were too large for the screen, but I was using FVWM as my window manager and was able to move to another virtual screen to work the rest of the dialog.
