bkil vs. programming

The described method should work on even simple desktop environments. If I don't already have an xorg.conf for editing, I first generate it by  Xorg -config xorg.conf.new . To make the screen easier to read, you need to  scale DPI by setting Displaysize in the respective "Monitor" section of xorg.conf proportionally larger than it physically is. A native driver outputs the original image size in Xorg.0.log. You need to type in the real size values times the magnification factor. So if the real active area of your display is 200mm wide and 100mm high and want 1.5x larger text, you insert  Option DisplaySize 300 150 . Unfortunately, not all applications honor this setting. You need to increase the default zoom by hand in  Chromium . You need to update the hexadecimal "LogPixels" dpi setting in ~/.wine/system.reg for  Wine . Otherwise if you are using Gnome, you could also try to increase the text scaling factor with the Gnome Tweak Tool, Universal...

While refreshing my Morse code skills, the following came to my mind. It would be nice to have an on-screen character font that spells out Morse! :) I recall encountering something similar before, but I haven't tried it out yet. It can come in very handy when you need to chat or write messages in the presence of nosy co-workers and the like. Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to find it at the moment. If you have any information on the topic please post a comment! If all fails, I may draw one myself... You can also comment if you have any tips about that. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_X11/Fonts a good start

My plan is to experiment with (monochromatic-) font designs. They would need to have a one-to-one correspondence with the Latin alphabet and Hindu-Arabic numerals. The object is to provide better clarity than the best possible with standard fonts. I will start investigating numerals first. It is a bonus if some symbols would resemble standard ones.
