Re: Cross-platform font handling, and why you don't want to do it

I'm going through my code and disabling the places where I check if a standalone is being built. I put that in there to try and get around the problem where I get alerted that stacks are in use, but that code doesn't work anyway. I still have to build one platform at a time, quitting LC between

Well, in Scots it's "alumeenium", which just sounds like a Scot suffered from bad spelling. On Tue, 6 Sept 2022, 23:54 Bob Sneidar via use-livecode, < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Excerpt from WordOrigins.org: > > In 1808, British chemist Humphry Davy postulated the existence of a >

Re: alumin(i)um

Excerpt from WordOrigins.org: In 1808, British chemist Humphry Davy postulated the existence of a metallic form of alumina ore, which he dubbed alumium. Davy later changed the name to aluminum. He writes in his 1812 Elements of Chemical Philosophy: "As yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a

Re: Cross-platform font handling, and why you don't want to do it

I did some testing. It only happens when loading font files for the first time in a Livecode session from a script on MacOS. Once the font files are loaded, I can close and reopen the stack and the appearance is correct. It does NOT happen on Windows, nor does it happen with any fonts that are

I think the user is going to need to code the width adjustment in the resizeStack handler. Widgets can’t change their rect on their own. It has to happen from the LCS side. Brian Milby br...@milby7.com > On Sep 6, 2022, at 3:29 PM, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode > wrote: > > Mike, > >

Mike, For future reference the source is in the .lce file. The .lce is in zip format. Temporarily change the extension to .zip. You will see the lcb file in there. Also when you install it the source will be in the extension folder. But since I posted .lce I have put in comments starting with

Re: Cross-platform font handling, and why you don't want to do it

Sorry to drag this thread on, but it appears that using embedded fonts is worse that I first imagined. After I had set all my label fields to Acme, I repositioned them so that they were contacting the field to the right of them, and I right aligned them all so they had a consistent look. I

Ha, I just realized that I responded to the Navigator part of the conversation without responding to the style part. When I wrote the "convert a control(s) to behaviors" code, I didn't think twice about what to apply it to or not -- I selected everything and converted it all. That was something

Re: Stylistic question.

Arriving late to the conversation. I never put code into buttons other that enough to cover messages. These will only have enough code in them to pass on the rest of the message. Eg on mouseUp pBtn btn_nameOfButtonMUp pBtn end mouseUp on mouseRelease btn_nameOfBtnMRel end mouseRelease
