Hi,
In examinig why mwCustomEdit dumps as it is created in main.pp, I found some things about Fonts.

In creating a font, it fontname (in GTK) is set to
TFont.Name := '-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1';

Sure, this is a *nix font name, but I think this is not the name we should use, since all formatting info is already in there. IMHO it should be split up like:

TFont.Name := 'helvetica';
TFont.Style := [fsBold];
TFont.Size := 12;
and so on.

(This wouldnt solve the problem since I don't have Courier NEW, but it will bring us closer to a solution)

Any thoughts about this.

Marc

I'm fine with that.
Want to change it? :-)
Feel free to make that modification.
Of course, this willl probably cause a problem when loading a FONT from the TFOntDialog. That will have to be changed a little so it doesn't simply assign the TFont.Name to the Linux name.

There are still some other changes in the pipeline, but I think I can handle that ;-)
