Hi guys:
I was talking to Stu on IRC regarding
how I found that Fedora Core 5's default Tk font is slightly different than that
of what it was on Fedora Core 4 and other distroes.
I decided to take screenshots of what
the dialog box looks like after the completion of "Install OSCAR Server
Packages".
Here are the files for Fedora Core 4
and Fedora Core 5 respectively:

Notice that the font size for Fedora Core 5 is slightly bigger.

Stu mentioned that he didn't
notice anything strange - well it could be because I'm using Gnome and he's
using KDE.
One way I have found to get
around this issue is to hardcode the font we use for all our Tk
widgets in one common place so that we can change it easily and make sure that
all calls that require fonts use this variable. However this needs to be
updated in two places - namely in SystemInstaller's
lib/SystemInstaller/Tk/Common.pm and lib/OSCAR/Tk.pm. At some point we
should look into merging the two...
Cheers,
Bernard
