Alex. I think Nils is refering to gjacktransport not gjackclock. The former is using the gtk-theme-fonts and there's no dedicated config-option for gjacktransport's SMPTE font, yet. You should be able to override it with some fancy GTK-config or by changing the desktop-theme until I get around to fix it. Thanks for the report. I did not notice it because it's not an issue with the gtk-theme here. I do have a few more updates in the queue: both apps still need a man page, the website is out-of-date and Paul Davis suggested to make gjackclock's font scale with window-size... stay tuned, robin ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Thanks! For some reason, although I don't like unecessary software emulations of the way hardware looks (rivets, screws, etc) having a rolling timecode display use a realistic-looking red 8-segment-LED-looking font is somehow reassuring and suggestive of what's being looked at. Having a distinctive monospaced font like you're using is the next best thing, and easier to implement.

Having a distinctive monospaced font like you're using is the next best thing, and easier to implement. IMHO the best solution would be to look for a 7-segment font. There must be one freely available. If not it can't be too hard to make one. Anyway while they may still around in the audio-world, in Film Post-Prod 7seg displays are not that common anymore. Timecode is rendered nicely on the picture :) FWIW: if you're into tinkering: I built a jack-transport and LTC display using real 7 segment displays and a arduino a while ago: http://rg42.org/gitweb/?p=arduino.git;a=tree Niels http://nielsmayer.com ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
