Re: [python-win32] Fonts behaving differently with Py3/216

Anyone have any idea what might have changed, and what I can do about it? Are you running this on a different computer? The default font and the size of a dialog unit is based on the dots-per-inch resolution of the monitor on that computer. If you have a machine with a big screen where the user has chosen a different resolution, that will affect the size of everything in a dialog. This is the same problem we used to refer to as small fonts / large fonts. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

I can run 2.x and 3.x versions of the same test side by side, and the 2.x one has normal sized text whereas the 3.x one has tiny text. Oddly, it only seems to affect text drawn by the standard win32 controls. Text that I draw myself using GDI+ comes out the same size in both cases. So it looks like GDI and GDI+ are doing different things with the fonts, somehow. -- Greg ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Anyone have any idea what might have changed, and what I can do about it? What version of python and how many bits? I'm guessing you tried 3.2, which means you must have used the 64bit version (as the 32 bit version of pywin32 appears to have 2.x syntax .py files). Assuming you've been using 32bit builds on 2.x, I guess that could point to a bug in the 64bit port of pywin32? The only other thing I can think if is the manifest changes - windows uses the manifest of the owning hmodule for some things (notably the version of the common controls used), which is why the winxpgui module exists. It seems unlikely, but I wonder if those changes have told windows to put things in some kind of compatibility mode.

It can't be 64, because the machine I'm running it on can't handle that. (And it's definitely not 23 bit either. :-) The only other thing I can think if is the manifest changes - windows uses the manifest of the owning hmodule for some things I don't really know anything about these manifest things. Is there some tool I can use to examine them and see whether anything is different? -- Greg ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Is there some tool I can use to examine them and see whether anything is different? The Windows SDK (and I assume VC - haven't checked) comes with a manifest tool - mt.exe. The syntax is fairly obscure, but it allows you to extract, change and add manifests (but not remove them AFAIK). Note the manifest ID for DLLs is 2 - so the command to extract would be something like: mt.exe -inputresource:path\to\whatever.pyd;#2 -out:out.txt HTH, Mark ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
