Suggestions for ATCF configuration. Font Selection A. The font used for the ATCF program controls (menus, dialogs, etc.) is determined by the atcf30*fontList resources. To change the ATCF program controls fonts do one of the two following suggestions: 1) Edit the .Xdefaults file in the root directory. Change or add a *fontList setting, the following is an example: *fontList: *-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 2) Add a file in your login directory with the same name as the program (atcf30). The file would look like the following: !##################################### !### Defaults For ATCF Program ### !##################################### atcf30*fontList: *-helvetica-*-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-92-*-* In order to determine what fonts are available on your system and to aid in picking a font, run the xfontsel program. B. The font sizes used by the ATCF program when drawing text in the map-display window is determined by the $ATCFINC/fontsel.dat file. This includes lat/lon labels, fix labels, best-track labels, etc. Refer to the documentation included in the fontsel.dat file. The fontsel.dat file also specifies the font used for some listboxes. ************** old probably no longer relevant, 11/2013 AJS ******************** Controlling Which Window Is On Top In order to get the ATCF windows to raise to the top when the window is clicked in. (The default is to have the window raise only when the frame is clicked on.) Create a file called .mwmrc in the root directory which contains the following: Buttons PointerButtonBindings { frame|icon f.raise frame|icon f.post_wmenu root f.menu RootMenu window f.raise Meta window|icon f.lower Meta window|icon f.resize Meta window|icon f.move } In the .Xdefaults file in the root directory add the following line: Mwm*buttonBindings: PointerButtonBindings ************** old probably no longer relevant, 11/2013 AJS ********************
