Hallo, this question maybe slighty off-topic, but as there are so many multi-platform experts in this forum, maybe someone can point out, where to look at.
I am maintaining an FLTK 1.1.8-application that runs on Windows XP and Linux. This application uses true type fonts. On the linux platform this it done through the FLTK Xft-Wrapper (compiling FLTK with --enable-xft) A very annoying problem is, that this true type fonts are not displayed with the same dimensions on both platforms. Under Windows the character spacing is in general smaller and the font heigth of the same font say Verdana 14px is smaller than in Linux. This makes it nearly impossible to design for example a List-Box, because in Windows more lines are visible in the same box, than in Linux. Has anyone any idea why this is so and if it is possible to take any influence how for example the font-heigth is determined with a given Pixel-size? I bet on you! chris _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
