[Sugar-devel] #1146 UNSP: (Default) Text is too small. This can be easily seen even on the (SoaS) login screen.

[Art Hunkins]

Aleksey,

To clarify my "bug": SoaS text is not just too small in a given Activity; 
text is too small in SoaS *overall*.

SoaS's default font size seems to be 10 - the same as for XO-1. Any text 
that SoaS prints seems to be size 10. For me to get readable text, I need to 
raise all instances (in my activity) to 14. (This is equivalent in 
set-user-markup to "<big><big>".)

Regarding your code suggestion: Indeed I'd like to have a general 
declaration to set font size to 14 in my activity (for SoaS - all cases). 
Would it be sufficient to:
declare:
from sugar.graphics import style

and early in my __init__ method specify:
style.font_zoom(14)
?

I use something like this
http://people.sugarlabs.org/~alsroot/sugar-port/port.style-pysrc.html#font_zoom
for that reason
