Calibration Messages Are Unreadable

The Calibration program attempts to use a Helvetica font. If not found, it uses a relatively random font. This font may be unreadable.

To override this behavior, set the symbol MT7FontSanSerif to a proper X Windows font name. To find a suitable font, use the xlsfonts command or other suitable utility that lists the available fonts. In a command prompt, set the symbol, export it, and run the MT 7 calibration utility TwCalib. Experiment with the value of MT7FontSansSerif until the calibration text is suitable. For example, if MT 7 for Linux® is in /etc/twscreen, a test sequence may be:

MT7FontSansSerif="-*-utopia-*" export MT7FontSansSerif /etc/twscreen/TwCalib

You can also test your font string with xlsf onts. After setting MT7FontSansSerif, issue the command xlsfonts -fn $MT7FontSansSerif to see what font, if any, matches.

If you find a suitable font, change your system login script, such as /etc/profile.local, to set and export MT7FontSansSerif.
