Pango seems to have a creative notion of what the point size of a font means.
On most systems, the size of a font is taken to be the total height, including ascent and descent. However, Pango seems to think it means the ascent only. For example, using Cocoa on MacOSX, if I ask for 48 point Times Roman I get a font with ascent = 36, descent = 12. But using Pango I get ascent = 48, descent = 16. This is very inconvenient for PyGUI, because it makes it difficult to write text-rendering code that produces consistent results across platforms. Anyone have any idea what I can do about this? -- Greg _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
