Dear PyGTK reader,
On the Net I found an example of using an other fontsize for a label. The way it's done is nice: using <big> HTML-like tagging. (I created a testprogram for PyGTK. The code is at the bottom of this message).
My question: using <big> does not allow exact fontsizing. Does anyone have an PyGTK example of setting the exact fontsize?
Off-topic 1: It surprises me that I got no answers on my "Entryfield validation extentions" question of 4-10-2002. In my opinion it is one of the basic needs when creating software. How do you guys do entryfield-validation?
Off-topic 2: Is there maybe a collection of code-snippets using PyGTK on the Net?
Greets and all good whishes,
Rene Olsthoorn.
