You’ll need a rulerto complete the instructions in the lower right corner of the dialog. When you have enteredthe pixel and inches information, click OK to close the dialog. Then, restart ModelSim tosee the change. This is a one time setting; you shouldn't have to set it again unless youchange display resolution or the hardware (monitor or video card). The font scaling appliesto Windows and UNIX operating systems. On UNIX systems, the font scaling is storedbased on the $DISPLAY environment variable.Controlling fonts in an X-sessionWhen executed via an X-session (e.g., Exceed, VNC), ModelSim uses font definitions fromthe .Xdefaults file. To ensure that the fonts look correct, create a .Xdefaults file with thefollowing lines:vsim*Font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*vsim*SystemFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*vsim*StandardFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*vsim*MenuFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*Alternatively, you can choose a different font. Use the program "xlsfonts" to identify whichfonts are available on your system.Also, the following command can be used to update the X resources if you make changesto the .Xdefaults and wish to use those changes on a UNIX machine:xrdb -merge .XdefaultsModelSim SE GUI Reference
