The issue is that pretty much no application has been written to work with AutoScaling. This is because the default font is always the same under windows (99% of the time). The point of AutoScale is you design your form with a certain default font, then you mark you form with the font size you used to design the form. At runtime, if the default font size is different than the one the form was designed with, everything is resized to accommodate the new font. So if my runtime font is larger than my design time font, make everything bigger so my new font fits. So when things are copied to linux, the default font has bigger metrics, so we make things bigger, causing things to look terrible. (Unless we have the MS fonts installed, in which case they are the same as windows.) We have three options. 1) export MONO_MWF_SCALING=disable tells MWF not to do AutoScale. 2) remove the Form.AutoScaleBaseSize call from each app. This is added automatically by the VS designer and most app writers have never even heard of it. 3) disable AutoScale completely in Mono. Geoff says this is the route he took for the Mac. 99% of time this is what we want, but there may be a few apps that rely on AutoScale. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
