Wow! This is great! Just a question, if i copy that statement on my source it render the correct face but it does not scale very well, in fact it seems that it does not scale at all! :-) So I tried with Fl::set_font(FL_COURIER, "courier"); and this works very fine! But i just guessed and i wonder if I can rely on this. Is this portable? How can i be sure that this font is installed on the user's system? Should i check at compile or configuration time? Thank you. C. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
