Hi,

I just did an update to r28589 (Suse Linux) and found that my editor font heigth had decresed. I have my font set to 12 pt, but it looked like 8 pt to me.

I had to increase font size to 16 pt, to make it readable again, whilst to me now the font size looks like it actaually is 12 pt.

I'm using "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1" as my editor's font.

Anyone with the same experience lately?

Bart

I had a similar experience, yes.

I updated to 28506 at the end of last week (Debian Linux) and found that the fount was oversized and that I couldn't change it. On the other hand things like the editor text for TSQLQuery.SQL had got smaller.

Yes, I've changed gtk2 font calculation to be same as on other widgetsets (it was wrong).

Thanks for clearing that up.

Take a look at attached screenshot.
I set the editor fontsize to 16 pt.
The size is now equal to that of the OI.
It looks to me (compared with other programs) as if it actually is 12 pt.

Maybe it's a problem with my Courier font?
(Most other fonts look (and read) rather ugly on my system) Maybe I need to upgade my computer (but then again I really love keeping this old harware up and running).
