So lemme recap what you have been saying in this and other posts.... The current design breaks both internationalization and accessability and you recognize that reality. Fixing these problems isn't an option though because.... well because. Tearing Anaconda apart and rebuilding it from the ground up was an imperative, complaints be damned, because the Anaconda devs had a hankering to do that; they had a fever and the only cure was some more cowbell. But making it useable while they already had it tore apart? Nobody was interested in that.
What I'm saying is that there isn't a quick fix to this, which is what Felix always suggests; his suggestions always boil down to "make the fonts bigger! now!"
Given all of that, it's almost never the case that there's a 'quick fix' for anything when it comes to the UI. If we're going to make anaconda more accessible we need to take an overview of how to do it without compromising its other design goals, not just start throwing out quick fix ideas.
While I doubt that there is a quick road to perfection, making things better should not be all that nasty. There is no need to ask the display how big it is. Just ask the user if a bigger font is desired. The user does not need to be given a lot of choices. 96, 192 and something in between would be an improvement. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
