How do I change the font size in NCSIM gui?

We are using specman with NCSIM (IUS 12.2) in GUI mode. I saw the answer on how to change the specview gui font settings, it works with Specview but not with the NCSIM gui. How can we make the same thing for the simulator?

To change the font size of the signals in the waveform window, type the following in the console:

preferences set waveform-height 15

The 15 above can be changed to whatever size you need.

I have a file called big_font.svcf containing the above line, and I just source it when I open Simvision. You can also create an additional medium_font.svcf with a smaller font if it helps your workflow.

For completeness: To open simvision and source big_font.svcf file:

simvision -input big_font.svcf

Currently there is no Simvision command or menu selection that will change the font size. However, there is an alternate approach that you can use. Look for a file called 'Xdefaults' under your .simvision directory in your home directory ($HOME). i.e. ~/.simvision/Xdefaults

If not, do the following: There is a file called SimVision under /share/cdssetup/simvision/app-defaults/ Copy the file 'SimVision' to ~/.simvision and name it 'Xdefaults'. Now edit this Xdefaults file. It will have a section which looks like this,

! global settings Simvision*foreground: black Simvision*background: #dfdfdf Simvision*Font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-------*

Change the last line above to: Simvision*Font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-------*

or any other suitable number besides the default 12 to suit your needs. Save this file and now invoke SimVision - you should see the font sizes increased. In general, you can review and edit the Xdefaults file above to change the fonts of various windows. For example - to change the font of the Source Browser - you can locate the following line in the Xdefaults file and edit it : Simvision*SrcBrowser.fixedFont: --courier-medium-r-normal--12- Simvision*SrcBrowser.valueFont: --courier-medium-r-normal--10-

  1. Change Fonts of 'Cursor' & 'Cursor - Baseline'on Waveform Browser by adding following in /.simvision/Xdefaults Simvision*WaveSet.deltaFont:

  2. Change Fonts of 'Current time in the simulator'on Waveform Browser by adding following in ~/.simvision/Xdefaults
