Re: [Lazarus] TFont.size
On Friday 01 May 2009 22:35, Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho wrote: Hello, Does anyone the difference between TFont.Height and TFont.Size? It seams to me that Height is measured in pixels and Size is some other unit which I don't know. Even worse, it doesn't seam to be an international system unit, but rather an american unit (some fraction of inches). The Delphi docs say: Use Size to specify the point size of the font. If the value is negative, the internal leading that appears at the top of each line of text is included. If the value is positive, Size represents the height of the characters but not the internal leading. To determine the size of the font in pixels, use the Height property instead. The value of Size can be obtained from the height in pixels using this formula: Copy Code Font.Size = -Font.Height * 72 / Font.PixelsPerInch When the Size property has a positive value, the Height property has a negative value. When the Height property has a positive value, the Size property has a negative value. A rather exoteric property IMHO. Or yet another Windowsism in Delphi No, it's not Windowsism, qt have the same thing on all platforms. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

But the IDE does not update the 'in' file names and it does not have any special consistency checks for them. So use them only if you know what you are doing. I must use them :) The converter for delphi projects supports them (fix the file cases, adds them to the lpi). I already have such projects where I must use in like in delphi. Please give a complete example. Maybe you are doing something wrong. I have two dirs with projects, both have main.pas, but project2 uses some units from project1 dir. So: 1.I must include project1 dir into project2, but sometimes , when building project2 lazarus (eg. when have some error in code), raised main.pas from project1 , but it shouldn't, it must open project2/main.pas. In kylix this is normal (because of in), so each unit is properly recompiled. I've seen that it's little bit messy and tricky with fpc, so my settings for eg. project2 are: 1.project1 units , which are used in project2 ARE included inside .lpr with in like myunitfromproj1 in '../project1/myunitfromproj1.pas' etc.. 2.project1 dir is removed from my units path. 3.-FU is setted up to project2 dir. 4.Laz application output path is at third place ... eg. myBuilds/project2 Now it does not make any mess.

It is very bad design which started with Microsoft to force all monitors to 96 dpi. X-Window servers are 100% correct in querying the monitor for the best dpi value. Native dpi values should also give the user a better visual experience. The GUI toolkits are supposed to handle the various dpi settings without developer intervention, but most don't, and simply rely on the hard-coded 96 dpi value. 10 out of 10 for Qt4, if they manage this correctly! yes they are. Font expirience is excellent with qt4 compared with qt3 and especially compared with qt2. qt4 doesn't use xfs so there's big diff.Think that latest gtk2 also doesn't take care of xfs.

Spacebar toggles the checkbox, but +/- does nothing! So as far as I can conclude, that is not native behaviour and should not be supported in LCL. Only SpaceBar should toggle checkbox.
