I am wondering why a 12 point Arial font, displayed on-screen in Mathematica, delivers output to my printer that is measureably smaller than 12 points when compared to output from other programs? I realize there has been some discussion of this behavior over in the Mathgroup moderated email list through the years, but I just haven't heard/read any really satisfying answers to this.
Now that I am using Mathematica 8.0.1 (Windows 7 64 bit) the behavior seems even worse. I have set the option inspector to use 16 point Arial, which is printing more like 10 point Arial.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is there an obvious solution or work-around? I have even tried setting the magnification to 1.25 under the PrintingOptions portion of Option Inspector, and nothing changed, the printed output remained too small.
I believe a typical style sheet has different settings for each "environment" (working, printout, slideshow, et cetera).
Try setting: File > Print Settings > Printing Environment to Working
If you require different styles for screen and printing (Working and Printout) you can edit the style sheet sections for the Printout environment to fine tune your results:
When Printing the default Screen Environment is "Printout". The reason for the mentioned behavior is that the "Printout" environment style has by default Magnification->0.8 which means that everything is printed at 80 % of the original size:
You can change this behavior for a particular notebook by choosing the menu item "Format"->"Edit Stylesheet..." and then creating in the opened window "Style definitions for your_notebook_name" a cell with the following content:
Cell[StyleData[All, "Printout"],
Magnification->1]
I just found a solution to this which seems to completely change the onscreen view to the one that actually prints out.
You go 'File', 'Printing Settings', 'Show Page Breaks'.

While I am typing on a specific line in workspace, the text present in the particular line's font is getting increased ! And it gets to regular size as soon as I stop typing.
I also upgraded to XCode 8.2 still the same issue occurs.
FYI:
I have also tried the following code to reset the XCode default settings, but still no use.
defaults delete com.apple.dt.Xcode
Solution:
This happens when you change font size for one particular element but the other editor's elements are using the previous/default font size.
If you want to change the font size either press cmd + or in preferences -> Fonts and Colors choose your theme and in the right pane select all the elements (press cmd a) and then change the font size.
See this SO answer
I had a similar problem but I am not sure is exactly the same.
Did you try to change this settings?
Xcode preferences > Fonts & Colors Your chosen theme will have a
"current line" option just under the font. Can't remember exactly but
I think you can find something there.
I'm using windows 10. I've been trying to change my font and font size to be easier on the eyes for gvim, and all my settings (syntax, ruler, numbers) work normally from my _vimrc file. I currently have
set guifont=Consolas:h12:cANSI
set guifont=Consolas\ 12
in both my _vimrc and _gvimrc files (both in $HOME). When I load :scriptnames, it shows that ~/_vimrc is loaded first and ~/_gvimrc loaded last. I have also tried
set guifont=Consolas:h12
instead of
set guifont=Consolas:h12:cANSI
Still, everytime I open vim or gvim everything is displayed in that horrid size 7 Fixedsys font. Only when I manually go to Edit->Select Font... can I actually effect a change on the font, but the next time I open vim/gvim the changes are not saved. The funny thing is when I enter :set guifont? it tells me that
guifont=Consolas 12
but the font is definitely still at Fixedsys 7. What is going on?
What worked for me is embedded in #nperson325681's answer but not made explicit. In W10 the correct font setting turns out to be your first instruction
set guifont=Consolas:h12:cANSI
but not
set guifont=Consolas\ 12
(although the latter works for me in Linux, and is what I've seen in Vim documentation and help files). So, as #nperson325681 implicitly suggests, take out the second set guifont in your _vimrc. What your set guifont? shows does correctly reflect what your _vimrc has instructed; it simply isn't what works in W10. What I ended up doing is:
if has('win32') || has('win64')
set guifont=Consolas:h10:cANSI:qDRAFT
else
set guifont=Consolas\ 10
endif
Hope that helps.
If you have two set guifont lines in your rc, the last will win. Try with the first line only.
After you have selected a font using the dialog, you can copy-paste the exact and correct line to your gvimrc by typing in insert-mode <C-r>=&guifont<CR>
Is it possible to make these tiny messages larger? I didn't find it preferences.
It is indeed: head over to Xcode - Preferences and find the Fonts and Colors section. Switch to the Console Tab and select an option you want to change (typically Executable Console Output and Debugger Console Output appear in the debugger).
Now click the tiny little T icon at the bottom and change the font to something more palatable. The default font is Menlo 11.
Alternatively you can switch to either of the Presentation presets, which will increase the font size for the debugger and your code font (good for screencasts).
It appears that the font size of the tiny red error messages is governed by the space available: if you make the default font size larger (or the size of any of the elements on that line), the error message will expand to fit.
An alternative is to show the issue navigator on the left, which has larger type, especially if you fiddle around in the preferences and allow more than 3 lines per entry, or whatever the default setting is.
I am using visual studios 2008. My laptop has the max screen res of 1366x768.
What can i do to get more reading space? i was thinking of making the font smaller but it would be more helpful if i can make everything smaller (toolbar icons, text, etc)
The only improvement i done so far was remove a bunch of things under the toolbar so i have only one line. Actually for this project i remove the standard bar so i have have the solution and text directly under the menu with no toolbar. What else can i do to maximize reading space.
Tools > Options > Environment > General > Uncheck "Show status bar"
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > Uncheck "Navigation bar"
Install the "Hide Main Menu" extension available here.
Enable Auto-hide the taskbar in your Windows Taskbar properties.
That should get you at least 5-7 more lines.
Dual screens. The more pixels the better. I like 1920x1280 extended to across a matched monitor with vertically split tabs.
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but really, it HELPS A LOT.
Ok ok:
Try Lucida Console as a font - it's readable at 8pt - and fixed width!
Hit Alt+Shift+Enter to get into Full Screen mode.
Float all your "helper" windows and use Ctrl+Tab to get to them. (Click using mouse)
Pin your Windows Task Bar to the left or right of your screen to give more vertical reading space.
What I do is unpin all the various tool windows and views. Unpin the Solution Explorer, Properties viewer, Output etc. and the Toolbar. This leaves you with just the coding window and small bars around that allow you to hover over the edges of the window and see everything you just unpinned.
set the Solution explorer on the right to Auto-Hide, close the error window when possible (as in when you're not fixing errors), and try and drop the number of toolbars vertically to 1. You can also change the size of the text down by going to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and colors but i wouldn't shrink the text unless you have good vision. I recommend Consolas 12 Point for your code; it's a bit big but very nice looking!
I got rid of the toolbars altogether and made things like the Solution Explorer autohide. I came to the realisation that the only toolbar button I ever used was a custom tool one I'd put there (I use the menu for that now). I'm running at 1920x1200 so real estate wasnt an issue - I just wanted less visual distractions. Just me and the code.
Okay, I'll bite.
I've got really pleasant code/window colors set up in Xcode. Ordinarily, my selection color is very visible.
When I am doing a project search and iterating through the results, however, the results list stays in focus and the found text remains out of focus, using a different background color. This color is extremely hard to detect, especially when the text is embedded in a larger code block and the view is shifting around as it scrolls to the results.
Here's an example:
Left side is in focus (just normal selection), right side is out of focus (during project find)
Often it takes a few seconds to find where the heck the selected text is.
Unless I'm just missing it, Xcode seems to offer no way to change this particular selection color. Interestingly, it also doesn't seem to follow the selection color from the Appearance panel.
Does anyone know a way to change this color or force it to be more visible, short of changing my entire color scheme around?
Use this Xcode plugin:
http://github.com/tjw/XcodeSelectionColorFix
Instructions for using it are here: http://github.com/tjw/XcodeSelectionColorFix/blob/master/README.markdown
You can manually edit the theme file, which might allow a different selection color. If I recall (not on my dev machine), personal themes are in ~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/(should be intuitive from here/can't remember)
You can edit them in Property List Editor, if I remember right. The Xcode preferences don't expose all of the options available in the theme file.
