I figured it out, I was reading the GTK 3 docs which tells me the value of rise is in pixels. However in GTK 2 the value is actually in Pano Units, 1024 units per pixel. I needed to set rise to a much larger number before I could see any effect.
I created a blog post about it here: http://trampster.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/subscript-and-superscript-in-gtk.html On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 10:47 AM, Daniel Hughes <[email protected]> wrote: > I have tried setting RiseSet to true, both before and after setting Rise. > > It doesn't help. > > On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 1:47 AM, Marcelo Belentani de Bianchi > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Daniel, >> >> I never try, but did you check the testTag.RiseSet = true ? >> >> -mb >> >> At 14 Mar 2013 10:58:53 +0000 (UTC) from Daniel Hughes <[email protected]>: >> How do I make a bit of text superscript in a GTK TextView. >> >> The docs say I should use the Rise property.
