[Xastir] Window Sizing and Shortcuts

[Jason KG4WSV]

I fired up xfontsel on the BBB.  on my old CentOS xastir config, my
fonts (which I think are the xastir defaults)  are

MAPS_LABEL_FONT_TINY:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_SMALL:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_MEDIUM:-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_LARGE:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_HUGE:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
MAPS_LABEL_FONT_BORDER:-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1


but the BBB doesn't have any adobe fonts.  I suspect you are getting
some random font since the defaults aren't available.

Try running xfontsel and find a sane font.  If xastir's configuration
won't let you get there due to the font problem, run xfontsel from a
terminal window, poke around and find a font that looks good (or at
least sane), and copy/paste the font spec string into the appropriate
place in ~/xastir/config/xastir.cnf

-*-clean-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

may be a decent place to start.

or maybe someone who actually knows debian can suggest a command to
load the adobe fonts?
