I don't think Brian's problem is anything to do with UTF8 though. >From speaking to him, I have the impression that the effect is more odd than that. If I understand it (Brian, correct me where I'm wrong...) - We are talking about the rendering of code inserts in the fluid text editor view - The files being processed are "plain" ASCII - They work fine in fluid from 1.1.10 - They usually display in a really nasty font in fluid from 1.3 - But *sometimes* they display just fine and *sometimes* they are partly good, partly fine (i.e. the comments are bad but the program text is OK...) So, what does this tell us? I'm not sure, but I think this is some problem with the way that we are selecting or enumerating the fonts, or the way Vista is returning fonts, or something. There is perhaps even the suggestion that what programs Brian used *before starting fluid* seem to effect how the text is displayed - again suggesting to me that it is a problem with how the fonts are selected, and that somehow this depends on what fonts other app's may have loaded, or something. So, anyway, it's weird, and I can't reproduce it at all. But the problem does exist... A potential solution would be that fluid be extended to allow the user to set the editor font manually, rather than depending on the "built in" fonts that fltk selects. That would actually be a win generally since it would also allow me to set a different font on my ubuntu laptop with its high-res screen, where everything gets rendered so tiny I can't actually read it anyway...
