Author Topic: Change font/colour of city-large.gpx? (Read 3903 times)

I am too ignorant to figure out how to change the appearance of the place names from city-large.gpx ("All U.S. Cities" layer) in TF 3.61.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Felix.

You're not missing anything. You can't change the font for the GIS layers.

What you can do, right now, is open the file yourself and set the waypoint font/color.

I suppose a GIS layer font setting would make sense.

Thanks -- I'll go grab a copy of the GPX spec and schema and have at it. I very much appreciate the super-quick response, by the way!

Cheers,
Felix.

Ah, no, there's no font info in GPX, that's part of the main reason we don't support more font options.

What I meant is open the GPX as a normal file in TF (not in the GIS layers -- go disable it up there first).

Then in options->prefs->fonts you can change the font settings for all waypoints. This will change it for the city-large.gpx file, too.

Ah -- that'll save me trying to dig up non-existent extensions from the GPX format spec. Thanks again!

Cheers,
Felix.
