Hi, I have written a programme that generates graph images from data in a database. These images include text drawn in a certain font and size. When I run the programme interactively, everything is fine.
When the programme is run through cron, though, the font is a bit larger. But I want the font to be exactly the same as when running it interactively. I assume it's got something to do with the configured dpi value. This is 96 for the root user (under which cron runs the app) and 80 for my account. When I run the app interactively, I sudo from my account to root, because root privileges are required. (I don't know how gconf works and what sudo does to it, but I could only see the value of 96 by sudo'ing to root - exactly what I did when running my app. So does that make a difference at all?) I have already set root's dpi value to 80 with gconftool and verified the success of that action, but the font is still larger. What does Mono do to render text? Where does it look for the relevant parameters? And how is the cron environment different from an interactive shell in a Terminal window? I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 x64 with Mono 2.4.4. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[email protected]> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
