Message-ID: <864d75030808271607r282dbe26oc6423501beed9c0f@mail.gmail.com>

Running gl_tail on a 48 in. LCD, tried increasing the font size by chaning
the xorg DPI to 100, but it's still is sort of small for gl_tail. How can I
increase the font size?

As it's an OpenGL application, and the font is a bitmap texture, you'll need
to change the size of the textured polygons drawn for the text. And rework
some simple math to calculate where on the screen things should end up.

So, currently not doable.

Another solution:

If you can, lower the resolution of the display. A lower resolution will
give the effect of larger everything on the screen. Not great, but if gltail
is just running full screen there, it might not mater.
