Changing and adjusting font size/style in Google Earth

Maybe it will help somebody.

Open Konqueror, go to ~/.config/Google. Open GoogleEarthPlus.conf file. Scroll down to section [Render]. Add the following lines at the end :

Quote
[Render]
GuiFontFamily=Sans Serif
GuiFontSize=10
GuiFontStyle=0
GuiFontWeight=50
PrimaryFontVersion2Family=Liberation Sans
PrimaryFontVersion2Size=15
PrimaryFontVersion2Style=0
PrimaryFontVersion2Weight=50
SecondaryFontVersion2Family=Liberation Sans
SecondaryFontVersion2Size=15
SecondaryFontVersion2Style=0
SecondaryFontVersion2Weight=75

Don't forget to save!

This line:

Quote
GuiFontSize=10

changes the size of your information and menu bar

These lines:

Quote
PrimaryFontVersion2Size=15
SecondaryFontVersion2Size=15

change the text size in the map. Adjust the numbers appropriate to your needs (these are my personal settings)

You can change the family of the fonts here:

Quote
GuiFontFamily=Sans Serif

PrimaryFontVersion2Family=Liberation Sans

SecondaryFontVersion2Family=Liberation Sans

Personally I prefer this set, but you can choose another family. For example Lucida family:

Quote
GuiFontFamily=Lucida
GuiFontSize=10
GuiFontStyle=0
GuiFontWeight=50
PrimaryFontVersion2Family=Lucida
PrimaryFontVersion2Size=10
PrimaryFontVersion2Style=0
PrimaryFontVersion2Weight=50
SecondaryFontVersion2Family=Lucida
SecondaryFontVersion2Size=10
SecondaryFontVersion2Style=0
SecondaryFontVersion2Weight=75

Play ;)
