How To Change Font
Type And Size Of Oracle Application Forms
Applies to:
Oracle Applications Technology Stack - Version: 11.5.10.2 to
11.5.10.2 - Release: 11.5 to 11.5
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
Is there a way to change the 6i Forms Font Type and Size in
11i Oracle Applications?
Solution
1. Oracle 11i Applications does not support the changing of
the 6i Forms fonts.
2. We do support the standard windows functionality of Large
and Small (standard) fonts in 11i Forms as part of our accessibility support.
This is set through the windows control panel. Large fonts runs with a
clientDPI of 120, Small fonts with a clientDPI of 96. If using Large fonts,
everything in the Forms UI is bigger, so a window that just fitted with
standard fonts may be too big to see everything all at once, since making the
fonts bigger also makes the window bigger. So there is a trade off.
Before starting the Oracle 11i Applications, set the Font
size on the Desktop/PC. The default/standard Font size on most Desktop/PC's is
set to Small. To change the font size to Large on a Windows 2000 Desktop, open
the Control Panel on the Desktop, then navigate to: Display > Settings >
Advanced > General. Use the drop down to change the Font Size to 'Large
Fonts'. (note: If the Large font is not installed on the PC, you will need the
OS installation CD to install the Large fonts)
Apply the changes
You may want to play around with the Display settings to
find the best setting for your monitor. (Control Panel > Display >
Settings > Screen Area 1024x768, 1280x1024, ...)
3. As a side note:
Do not update the windowsDPI in the
fnd_top/resource/appsweb.cfg file. We do not support altering the clientDPI
through the Forms configuration files. With standard windows dots per logical
inch (DPI), the form layout is designed to work with
the available fonts on a particular client platform. Once
you start changing the DPI, the font point size chosen as the best fit may not
work and font clipping can occur.
