GoogleEarth 4.3: How to change the GUI fontsize in Linux


Just installed GoogleEarth version 4.3 on my CentOS 5.2 machine today.



The installation finished without any errors but the font the GUI started
with was a complete disaster. It was so small I could not read it. A little
bit of googling revealed the following:




  1. GoogleEarth 4.3 stores it's configuration in the ~/.config/Google directory.


  2. Inside it, the file GoogleEarthPlus.conf contains a section called [Render].


  3. The render section contains attributes for GuiFontFamily
    and GuiFontSize.
    Place the right values over there, restart googleearth and that does it.



Thanks to Santana
