3D view Navigation Cube - Every things too small

[sgrogan]

Guys and Gals, after all it's just the navi cube and not a Gutenberg bible.

I don't usually use LOL, but that is funny

I don't usually use LOL

Makes it even more precious.

I'm afraid, only via Parameters ("the registry"), not Preferences.

Of course only changeable by menu item: Tools->Edit parameters

...

I suggest donnot use Helvetica as default font for NaviCube, for Helvetica is a commercial font and difficult to aquire for Windows/Linux users. Font fallback will cause display inconsistency between machines.

Choose a opensource font (dejavu, noto, ...) for NaviCube, and include it into FreeCAD package, please.
If there is no translation requirement for text (FRT/TOP/LEFT...), use graphic.
If there is translation requirement for text (FRT/TOP/LEFT...), Noto Sans (from Google and Adobe, Adobe named "Source Sans") is the only one opensource font that support multilingual script AFAIK.

Actually they already are images ... internally generated from text. Problem remains for translation if hardcoded pictures are used.

hi

as image option in NaviCube preference

Since there are a few more settings we can think about creating one preferences page only for the NaviCube.

@UR_ please consider my suggestions,

- add hardcoded image option to prevent font fallback causing visual inconsistency between machines


- add "font kerning" option to prevent text overlay in horizontal direction

- last but not least, donnot use commercial font as default (hard to aquire)

Good luck!

Added following parameters:

"NaviFontStretch" is an integer according this table:

Hope these possible abbreviations and font stretchings (up to 100, so not condensed) will increase readability.

This is normal. Parameters don't exist by default and shall be created by user.
