RPI4 font preferences not maintained between starts of OSCAR

[happydreams]

As you might imagine, that's not what I wanted to hear.  But that's ok.  I truly appreciate the effort put in to date by both of you.  (Guy and Phil.)  This current build is still improved over the stock, save for the little font annotation.  )git pull done at 9:50am.)  Can you tell me how to turn off the print to screen of the current selected font?  I mean the text PibotoLt,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 over the orange bar.  I'll just make a local edit in my repo.

If you would be so kind, could you point me to the area in the source that deals with setting the fonts for the daily tab?  Maybe I can fiddle around there.  Worst thing that could happen is I give up and just do a git pull to blow it all away.  Maybe by spending some time on this I can come up to speed on OSCAR and be able to contribute later in a meaningful way.

Thanks.

In daily.cpp, the two lines at 1652 and 1653 insert the font name into the table. Just comment them out.

Further down, in lines 1663 and 1666, you will find 'font size=+3' (twice in line 1663 !!) - change the 3 to 2 or 1 to reduce the size of the AHI banner line.

  Greatly appreciated!

My goodness, haven't found the secret decoder ring...  By that I mean, it isn't obvious to this beginner what many things are called.  

I made my changes and they came out ok.  Nothing blew up, there was no smoke, nor any tears.  I'm going to count that as success,

What are the name of the variables (or whatever it is called) that holds the manufacturer name, the machine name, the machine mode and the machine setting strings?  I'm thinking of altering the look so it is more vertically compact.  

Going to need a lot more seat time, before I get an inkling of what's going on.  Can I presume the only documentation is the source itself?  It's not a bad thing, but I was wondering if there were any big picture descriptions, if you know what I mean.
