    Change text font to greater one in this very good MOTIF texteditor ?

    Hi,
    i have here found a very good texteditor source code programmed in the MOTIF GUI language.
    For myself i need NOTHING else to program.
    To start from a very easy point of view i want to RUN this editor on my LINUX machine and type simple C code.

    The reason for this post is that the text font of this editor is to small.
    I am at this point of knowledge not able to find the position in the code to CHANGE THE FONT SIZE.
    Can someone help ???

    Kindly Regards
    SM

    HERE IS THE SOURCE CODE :

    Find all the places where scrolledtext is mentioned, as that seems to be the thing doing all the work.

    For each function which makes use of it, read the respective documentation to see if there is any mention of font.
    Don't forget to follow up on any "see also" references which might lead to what you want.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
