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
