I like that idea. And from what I can see that glyph is in all of our default fonts. You did of course only fix one of many places where we used "l" to show liters. Actually, I was appalled just how many such palaces there were. I went through and tried to consolidate them and capture the SAC rate displays as well (and while doing that found yet another bug). I had intended to do the same consolidation for all the other units that we display (really, there shouldn't be that many places where we implement the same thing over and over again), but I ran out of steam for the weekend - maybe someone else will tackle this. It's not all that hard. Quick testing on Windows also showed that I must have messed something up with the SAC value in the overlay - while this works just fine on Mac and Linux it does show very strange output on Windows... would be nice if somepone could track this down as well. But after more than a dozen commits today it's time for me to do something else :-) /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
