If I had to guess, it's the fact that Win and Apple use graphics engines that
can render smaller objects with greater detail, and so there is no need to make
objects larger in order to make them look better.

There isn't any such tendency, as far as I can see. None. Maybe its

I checked and it is known to Synaptic as libpango, and its installed. With
quite a few subsidiary libraries. It probably came as a dependency with
Gtk, in which case most all distros will have it.

revFontLoad, on Mac and Win, means I can load any silly old font I like
from any silly old

Were revFontLoad to work in Linux I have a funny feeling that almost all

Hi Richard.
It may be rather tedious, but when I developed in Foxpro, there were always
these kinds of issues. What a font looked like in Windows was NOT what it

what platform you were

How about launching revolution from the commandline instead of
double-clicking the icon?

and it starts up.
Maybe we have to do something with X-Freetype font rendering, however one
might go about that?

The font prefs in Ubuntu (Gnome) show 10 as the default point size for
most applications, including the fonts used in menus.
Yet in Rev, setting the textSize to 12 is still much smaller, and only
when I bump it to 14 does it get even close to what Ubuntu considers 10.
