I'm making a new installer for Lazarus on Debian and Ubuntu because the existing ones in their repositories are just plain wrong and broken beyond repair. I got everything working smoothly now, the only remaining (minor) problem is to replace the default editor font "Courier New" with something more appropriate on a Linux desktop.
Unfortunately Lazarus is ignoring /etc/lazarus/editoroptions.xml (according to strace it is opening the file but its contents do not seem to have any effect on the default font or any other editor setting I have tried. Is this a bug? I think so!) Where would be the proper place to patch the Lazarus sources, I grepped the Lazarus sources for "Courier New" but the only place that came up and made sense in this context was synedit.pp but I doubt its a good idea to simply patch the default font for SynEdit itself, I would rather avoid to patch anything that could potentially be linked into a user's application compiled with Lazarus. Where should I have a look to either fix this bug (ignoring secondary config file) or to properly patch the default font? -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
