Start from Terminal in Debian

Post by Birnbaum »

Hello everyone, I am looking for a possibility to start openwebstart from a linux debian terminal. I want to scale the fonts larger via environment variables, because the text in the window ist too small. I would be grateful for suggestions.

Hi,

Do you mean to say that the Jnlp application that you start with OWS shows small fonts in that application's window?

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/156 ... dows-linux

You will have to specify jvm args in the jnlp file for this:

Code: Select all

<java version="1.8*" initial-heap-size="256M" java-vm-args="-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=false   -Dsun.java2d.uiScale= .."/>
You could also set an Env variable with JVM args to be passed to your Jnlp application (note that this will apply to all jnlp applications):

Code: Select all

export JAVAWS_VM_ARGS= ...
