RE: [lazarus] Font names shown in the respective font
The LCL provides a Delphi compatible TFont. The widgetsets searches the nearest font. The gtk interface also understands XLD font names, where the font name is a 15 attribute filter. So, basically you can select every available font under windows and under gtk/X. But they are not cross platform. The OI combobox is custom drawn, so it would be possible to draw every font. But afaik this would be quite slow and needs a lot of resources. I'm not an font expert, so I don't know, what properties are needed by TFont to make it cross platform (if this is possible). The thing is that you have to measure the string to calculate its dimensions given the font family, text size, font style etc. which I don't remember if TFont class provides itself in Delphi or if one had to use Windows calls for it (maybe it does provide). I was also thinking that I could reuse in the background an autosizing TLabel (there was such I think in Delphi) and set the text to it (=the font name itself) and the font name and keep some same font size, then tell it to size itself (without adding it to a parent - hope it doesn't play it clever in that case and do nothing), then ask it it's dimensions (so that I avoid messing with the font measuring calls if they're complex) I wonder why it should be a resource hog if fonts are implemented ok in Laz and in the OS or window manager. I've done it in JFC/Swing many years ago and it played very nice (JFC/Swing wasn't the most optimized lib back then [it still itsn't]). Also, old Macs were doing that (back in 1997) and didn't have problems. Anyway it will be a property to turn on/off. Think it's interesting exercise for me to get more comfortable with Laz object inspector code, so I'll try to give it a try Another thing I'd like to add is wiring option on the form designer, maybe similar to IBM's VisualAge or even simpler Cheers, George George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland Spirit of Delphi ++ QuickTime, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components ++ http://www.kagi.com/birbilis ++ Robotics ++ http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup _ avast!

RE: [lazarus] repository
IMO it is a good idea to provide a simple way/batch file to build lazarus. But IMHO it is a bad idea to put several batches/scripts for each platform into the main directory. It would be better to add a INSTALL.txt, describing the most common build commands for every platform and pointing to the wiki for the rest. At the moment these things are in the README.txt. That's why I suggested putting them in a buildscripts or scripts subfolder with subfolders in it for each platform.

Should I go for it, would it be ok to use Indy or is there someother better / more stable / supported lib for Lazarus? First, you should know that as the author of LNet I'm biased towards it but I'll try to stay factual. 1. Synapse and Indy both work on Linux and Windows, as tested, but that's it. I'm not saying they DON'T work on eg: freeBSD but there needs to be testing done to confirm this in the least. LNet works on most common fpc platforms and is tested atleast to an extent. At least synapse even works under MacOSX PowerPC and Intel. So, FreeBSD should work too, but I didn't try. It uses the fpc socket units. Indy is now also tested on FreeBSD/x86 for 2.1.1 but requires a trivial mod in the current indy code (a typecast of a threadid in one position) For Mac/PPC I did a test with the Indy after the 2.1.1 fix, but it didn't work. I suspect some endianness trouble though. Maybe next weekend I'll invest some time in testing this. 64-bit support is untested by me, but afaik JP Mugaas invested some time. I don't know the exact status. 2. Indy is rather huge. I'm not sure how much of an issue this could be but it might not be a good idea to throw it's weight around. Indy is huge, and has some overhead. OTOH it is in the same scale as e.g. the LCL, and doesn't impact working with it much. More importantly, it makes its ease of use, specially after an initial getting-used-to period quite easy. Because of this I'd use Indy unless I have special requirements. (e.g. I perse want LNet's support for sendfile/kqueue etc) 3. LNet has it's issues too. It's not yet 100% stable and even API can change sometimes. On the other hand you got me to kick in the arse and fix the stuff :) What I have seen of it, Indy has more ease of use. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
