[REBOL] Setting default font for all View sessions
From: brian:wisti::gmail at: 27-Dec-2006 12:58
Hi,
I'm suffering through REBOL/View 1.3.2.4.2 on CentOS 4 (a clone of
Redhat enterprise with all the non-free bits taken out), and trying to
figure out a workaround with the known font issues. Unfortunately,
this is a work machine, so switching to a better distribution is not
an option.
View can apparently find 'font-fixed on this machine. Explicitly
setting font to [ name: font-fixed ] works on a widget-by-widget
basis. It's not ideal, but at least I get _something_ when I run a
View script.
Still, I would like to avoid that approach if possible. Scripts like
this get a little cumbersome:
rebol []
view layout [
vh1 "Yo!" with [ font: [ name: font-fixed ] ]
text "Enter your name: " with [ font: [ name: font-fixed ] ]
field with [ font: [ name: font-fixed ] ]
button "Hi!" with [ font: [ name: font-fixed ] ]
]
Is there a way I can make view always go for font-fixed, either in my
script or user.r? Alternately, has anybody else stuck on Redhat-style
Linux distros figured out a good workaround for the font issue?
Apologies if this has already been hashed out. I couldn't find
anything with a casual search through Google, Rambo, or the mailing
list archive.
Kind Regards,
Brian Wisti
