I understand, that the shapes may appear different with differnt renderers, but why cant they at least render all the same height? Is there no general rule for a given font and pixel-size of how to calculate the line height? > Yes, it is tricky...

But that changes the look even more. The rendering of the characters is pretty identical, only the spacing an line heights are different. If had to use a 12px font to achieve the same heigth than a 14px font, the characters are much smaller. If I only knew, where I could "screw" around to make the renderer (Freetype2 I guess) behave differently with the spacing. I found nothing to this problem in the net. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
