So a bunch of us are working on workshops and documentation and we are of course butting our heads against the font issue again. Does anyone have a good idea to fix this? I remember some talk about converting the fonts to pixel sizes rather than point sizes. That sounds like exactly what we should do. I've poked around a bit, but my Tcl skills are not so sharp.
in tk you just give the size as negative values and that'll be the font-size in pixels (absolute)
so, while a font-size "12" is 12 points, "-12" is 12 pixels.
here ends my knowledge of tcl/tk
I remember that discussion. What I don't really know is where to put change 12 to -12. The fonts are specified in the Xwindows style:
-*-courier-bold--normal--12-*
Do we have to change to a different format for specifying fonts?
