#5: Fonts in the Karabo GUI¶
Fonts in the Karabo GUI¶
The karabo graphical user interface (GUI) offers a wide potential of font settings. Every operator is free to configure his scene panels with the desired fonts.
However, not every operating system has every font available. Hence, configuring
a label with the print font Ubuntu
will affect Windows
operators, as the
operating system will find a substitute. This might not always match the size of the
labels in which the text is written. The only cure would be to make the label size larger.
Print fonts that have the capability to render similar on MacOS, Windows and Ubuntu
are Sans Serif
, Arial
and Helvetica
.
Therefore, from Karabo 2.7.0 onwards, the default font provided is Sans Serif, being the only candidate that was available on all of our OS test machines.
All previous font settings in the karabo projects remain untouched!
Note
The karabo GUI (2.7.0) default print font is Sans Serif
with a point
size of 10 (before 11) and the minimum widget height is reduced to 18 pixels (before 20).
