[Gvsig_english] Bigger font and icons in Gvsig

[Jordi Grimalt]

Hi Jan,

       Surely, the problem is based with a problems of the appearance in 
your window's desktop. Please check  your appearance configuration, 
right button mouse, go to the properties and choose in theme the windows 
XP, then in the eyelash of appearance click in advanced options where 
you can verify in the element textbox the font and size(Tahoma default, 
8) defined.
       
       Cheers, and good luck!

The problem happens with java based GIS software generally, I think. Also in Kosmo, and OpenJump. SAGA or QGIS without problem.The main menu respects my Windows settings (default font Arial 14 bold) but other menus - especially the right mouse button menus like "edit, delete layer or layer properties" are very small - I guess 10 or 8 pt. The icons are not so big problem, but could be bigger too.
