gtk label text font control

[Gong, Shawn (Contractor)]

hi list,

GTK1.2 was used to program button and text entry/display boxes. e.g gtk.GtkLabel(“text1”), gvutils.GvMenuFactory(), etc

All texts are fine on Windows, and RedHat Linux/Solaris 9 running GTK1.2.

Now we run it on Fedora 8, CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 7.10, which have GTK2.0. The fonts become quite bigger. As result, the texts stick out of the pre-determined frames.

Is there a way to control the above text font (say specify Roman 14)? Or it is an issue with GTK2 and GTK1.2 (meaning more complicated)?

thanks,

Shawn

Hi Shawn,

 

Could environment variables be influencing things?  I have a vague recollection of having to unset the "GTK_RC_FILES" environment variable sometimes to avoid conflicts between OpenEV's gtk 1.2 build and the system's gtk 1.2 build (OpenEV's gtk would try to use the system RC files, with poor results).  I'd try looking at the environment variables and playing with any GTK ones you find to see if something similar could be going on.  Failing that, I'd probably also take a look at the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables on the off chance that some gtk-2 library was being seen as gtk-1.

 

 

Good luck,
