Hi,
When you say 'default font' do you mean the one that is selected as the font
of the TLabel or TStaticText when it is created, and that this font is
different from other font objects (in that it does not support size and
style yet)?
I am ok with that. My main problem is that it is unnecessarily difficult to
change the font. When I try to change the font by clicking on the '...'
button to open the Font Dialog, in gtk no font is selected by default, so I
need to find the right font first - but some platforms may have different
fonts by default. In gtk2 the font dialog does have a font selected by
default (yay), but alas, when I make my changes and click on OK I get an
access violation or something.
Now that I think about it more I think even if the font dialog sets the
correct font when it opens, it will still not be "platform independent", so
I think I understand the problem a bit better... It will still make life a
wee easier though. :-)
What is the best way then to make a piece of static text be in bold or a
different size?
Thanks.
Charl

The 'default' font does not support size and style yet.
