9 years agoI'm confused. I can't understand to install new tcl/tk and freetype font. Will it be good ?
I think problem might be between font initialization process of vsim. Because all CentOS font specification includes negative size. as you know, tcl/tk accept negative font size, which indicate physical pixel size. But as for positive font size spec indicate point size, which varies depends on the platform resolution(such as 97dpi). And on the NG behavior vsim of Ubuntu16.04, vsim specified all positive font size, it is similar to windows10. And vsim has font scaling in the menu. I think positive font size spec divided by font scale which lead to too small font around 1pt. I think this is the root cause. And we can't input negative font size(by window). On the by name window, we can input negative font size, but vsim behave strangely. quartus16 update1 might be a little bit good behavior. I think the problem might be around font initialization process depends on the OS. Anyway, after adding epel repo and installing 32bit library, CentOS has gone now ;-(. Please wait a while.
