    ImageMagick menu fonts are so tiny, it is unusable.

    I noticed ImageMagick comes with Kubuntu 22.04 and some people talk about how useful it is. I try to use it and the menu fonts are so tiny and faded I do not see how anyone uses it. Does anyone know how I can make the fonts large enough to see it. If not, is it safe to remove it (dependencies) and what is the best way to remove ImageMagick? I have not been able to find any information on the menu font size.

    Are you using the default Themes, or are you using a downloaded theme(s)?

    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Using the default theme that it came with. I can't see how to change anything. Used a magnifying glass as well with no success.

        ImageMagick has a GUI? Menus?
        I must have completely missed something - I only have known and used it as a CLI program suite (see e.g. man imagemagick). I still use it for batch conversions etc.

        PS: OMG - you are right, it has a GUI for X11! Looks like it is 1992 again… Astonishing! I love Linux, one can learn something every day.

        PPS:
        - I don't think you can change the font type or font size from within the GUI at all.
        - You can see the reverse dependencies with e.g. apt rdepends imagemagick | grep -i depends | sort. So if you don't use e.g. Calibre or PlayOnLinux it should be safe to remove.

          Easily missed, or forgotten - run the simple command display

            Yes, I know display. But I thought this was only the X11 output of my image - I really did not know about any menus (the "GUI").
            One can get the menus when one clicks into the window, btw…

              CRT monitor era was my first thought as well. After running apt rdepends imagemagick | grep -i depends | sort
              ​I will leave ImageMagick installed as it is and simply not use it.


              You and claydoh 's tutelage is appreciated and valued.
