root [0] TBrowser TB;

generates a TBrowser window with fonts I can’t read they are so small. I tried editing the system.rootrc file changing the Gui parameters, but that doesn’t seem to do anything. How does one make the fonts bigger?

Thanks.

I changed the definitions below…

Gui.DefaultFont:            -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.MenuFont:               -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.MenuHiFont:             -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.DocFixedFont:           -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.DocPropFont:            -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.IconFont:               -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.StatusFont:             -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

Try in .rootrc in your home folder. For me putting those lines in ~/.rootrc works fine (although in Linux Mint, but I suppose it should also work in Ubuntu); if you don’t have that file in your home, just create it.
