Hi all,
I use for interface, as default font (System) and size (0); the
Control Height is 20. Unfortunately, that is not enough (the
"Close" word is truncated at its bottom).
Extract from the Language Reference:

Linux Considerations
If you are building your application for Linux, from another
platform, you should carefully check out the appearance of the
Linux version of your interface and adjust the font size and size
of controls for maximum readability.

The question is:
how did you define the height of a PushButton (for example) ?
[by successive try ?]
Complementary question:
when you found a value, did it works for many (if not every) Linux
flavor ?
Emile,
We use a subclass of the Pushbutton control which has the following
code in the Open() event:
Sub Open()
#if targetLinux then
me.top = me.top - 1
me.height = me.height + 2
#endif
Open() //Only need this if you're subclassing the PushButton Control
End Sub
This works very well for us. You just need to make sure you leave
enough room (if you're using the guidelines, it should work pretty well)
