Linux font problem with LabVIEW 7 Express

[aherzer]

Is there a change in how LabVIEW 7 Express for Linux
uses fonts? When I run LabVIEW 6.1 (on the same
machine) the standard font (10pt Application) looks
very nice (in menus, front panel and diagram). With
LabVIEW 7 they are not so good to read. What can I do?

Thanks in advance,

Armin,

I opened up LabVIEW 6.0, 6.1, and 7.0 for Linux all using the 10pt applicaiton font and all the menus etc. looked to be the same across all the versions of LabVIEW.

Is there a specific VI that looks different or is it all VIs? What version of Linux are you using? Is the video driver the most up to date version? Is LabVIEW set to use the default application font?

Hello Evan,

Sorry for the late replay, but I was on holiday last week.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux woody 3.0 (testing). The video driver is the one which is shipped with XFree86 in this Debian installation. I also used the newest video driver from NVidia but the problem is the same (btw. is this a NVidia problem? Unfortunally I can only test on machines with NVidia cards). I attached a screenshot to visualize the problem.

The problem is not VI specific. All text (menus, comments and so on) have this ugly font.

Thanks in advance,
