The GUI way to change font is still not working, If I open that it shows all fonts as size 12 and if I change any and hit apply or save the fonts are all reset back to 12, I conclude GUI font-setting is defective.ĭoing the work I also found two settings of fontsize 12 in the mgc_style.tcl file close to the end, but they do not seem to have any influence to GUI, properly only used in some tcl command mode.

(Never spend enough time to figure out how to add fonts to ubuntu). font type sans-serif was changed to as fc-list showed that I do not have a font called sans-serif. textfonfV2 is set to -18 to fix the additional editor unvisible font. The small font was changed in the hidden file /home/peter/.modelsim line PrefDefault where I changed all 12 to 18 or 20.

Setup environment variable MODELSIM to point to /home/peter and cp the modelsim.ini from the installation directory to /home/peter then do chmod +w modelsim.ini, second I set variable MODEL_TECH to point /home/peter/intelFPGA/17.1/modelsim_ase/bin this fixed the library problem. I found that beside running above instruction I had to do the following: PATH to modelsim was added by the installation script but other needed environment variables are NOT set as needed. Normally I start Modelsim in the folder where I want/have the work library. My problems may relate to the fact that I did not install Quartus only Modelsim-altera, but I do not thinks so.Īlso I do not use project files only do files to compile and simulate. Actually there where two problems, because modelsim did not read in all the standard libraries. Finally after spending a lot of hours I managed to get it fixed.

Modelsim pe does not install
