Lazarus is not a tool for any user - it is a tool only for programmers.
Just because there is an inner technical reason for something, does not mean
that needs to be reflected in the user interface.
As an ex-delphi programmer you should know a difference between negative
and positive font sizes.
Correct, I am an ex-delphi programmer. I used D5, D6, D7 and Kylix 2 & 3. But
to be honest, I have no clue what you are talking about. I have no idea what
negative fonts mean - please enlighten me. In the mean time, I'll try and Google
for information.
It makes no sense to me. I select the font and size via the GTK2 font dialog,
then magically Lazarus changes my 12pt font (from the font dialog) to -12. Then
when I select the font size combo dropdown, -12 is the only negative value
listed, all other values are positive.
I have never seen any problem (IDE's included) showing negative font values.
I'm loading Kylix in a VM session now just to make sure.
Does anybody else excluding Paul know what negative fonts sizes mean? Please
answer, I would like to know if I missed something major in my 15+ years of
working as a developer.
