I've just added some tutorial test cases for the Felix GUI.
They're a bit interesting because they use fthreads and schannels.
However there is an issue, finding a TTF font.
At the moment the tuts use
fun OSX_dflt_font() => "/Library/Fonts/Courier New.ttf";
in file src/lib/gui/font.flx to get a font to use. It works on my box
but won't on yours. This needs to be fixed somehow.
the "right" way to do this is to have something like
fonts.fpc
in one of the config directories, possibly
$HOME/.felix/config
since the accessible fonts should be universal. Exactly how that file should
look I don't know.
The REAL right way to do this is to have a server which can be queried. ..
but then, one need to know how to access the server.
A good solution may be to SHIP some fonts with Felix.
Any thoughts on this issue appreciated...
