Now I've downloaded and compiled the new version. Boy was I surprised! I ran an existing application, and it looked quite different in layout, but upon careful inspection, and knowing how the code was written, it appears that everything that is different is a result of exactly one thing:
$font = Win32::GUI::Font->new ( -name => "Times New Roman", -size => 18, ); The above line was fiddled with by trial and error using version 558, to get the size font that I wanted. I was rather surprised at the time that the size, if expressed in points, turned out to be so small on my screen. But I was so busy learning other stuff, that I just ignored that issue.... but now it has come back to haunt me! Using version 665, the font used probably _is_ 18 points... at least it looks the same as what Word Perfect calls 18 points for that same font! So I guess this is an improvement, except that it would be nice to know if there is a scale factor that can be applied, so that an application could choose the same size font in either version of Win32::GUI. Other than the font size issue, and the resulting effects on widget layout, my forking Win32::GUI application seems to still be functional. -- Glenn ===== Remember, 84.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
