Hi,
Looking at the source for Font.xs vs your code, your error looks odd
indeed and your code correct.
A couple of things:
Your code as written does not work at all, of course. It would have to be
my $size = 12;
$this->{greek_font} = Wx::Font->new( $size, wxMODERN, wxNORMAL, wxBOLD );
Are you quite sure you haven't typed in what you know the code should
be, rather than what it actually is?
Is '$size' in your code a Wx::Size object rather than a point size?
The only two ways I can think of the error below can happen are:
* $size is a Wx::Font object
* wxPerl overloading resolution is horribly broken
that's because before dispatching to that method wxPerl first checks
that the type of the first argument is a Wx::Font object.
If checking out the above does not highlight the problem, what are the
versions of Wx and wxWidgets on the failing Linux box and the failing
Windows box ?
That would still be a very useful information. Also, Keith, could you
double-check that the versions of the program are exactly the same
on all the machines you tried it?
Regard,
Mattia

Hi all. First, thanks for the responses to my text control problem
last week. All is now well on that front. I do however, have one other
problem that is delaying the release of my program.
My wxPerl program runs on my main Linux computer at work and my
Linux box at home. It also runs under Windows XP on my laptop (thanks
to the text control help). However on another windows machine at home
and another Linux computer at work the program fails and I get a
message something like:
Usage: Wx::Font::newFont(CLASS, font) at ./wxProdop.pl line 622
Line 622 reads:
$this->{greek_font} = Wx::Font->new( $size, wxModern, wxNormal, wxBold );
As far as I can tell, this is basically the proper way to create a
font object so I'm puzzled as to why it should work on some machines
but not others. Is there something in the docs that I've missed? Any
ideas?
