Hi Mark,

You're right, my suggestion is to use a font object.
I do not know how to use a virtual string to define a font.
I only found the object-based font definition in the documentation:
http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/mozart-stdlib/wp/qtk/html/node42.html#misc.font

Cheers,

Yannick

Thank you Parmentier, that solved the problem.

What I still don't understand is the error message I was receiving. It said that either a virtual string representing a font or a font object was required. Now the way you suggested is the font object method but how exactly do you represent a font with a virtual string??

Regards

Mark

Hi,

In case it may help, here is an example of font definition :

BigFont = {QTk.newFont font(size:14 weight:bold family:'Helvetica')}

Hi,

Can anyone just help me with a small problem?
I'm trying to set a slightly larger than standard font in a QTk text widget but I think I'm getting the syntax wrong somewhere.

Within my widget definition I've got the line

        font:font(family:"Times" size:12)

the documentation is a little confusing !

Regards

Mark
