I don't understand how a label width can be specified in chars. Does this refer to a conventional width, that may depend on the font size ?
For instance, if I set a width of 10 chars, and I'm not using a monospace font, there won't be the same amount of space left whether my string is '..........' or 'mmmmmmmmmm'. http://pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtklabel.html "width-chars" Read-Write The desired width of the label, in characters. If this property is set to -1, the width will be calculated automatically, otherwise the label will request either 3 characters or the property value, whichever is greater. Allowed values: >= -1. Default value: -1. Available in GTK+ 2.6 and above. What am I missing, here ? -- Jérôme _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
