I don't know how to translate that directly.

This is what the help file says about the parameters for wxFont:

 Point size 
           This is the standard way of referring to text size. 
 Family 
           Supported families are: wxDEFAULT, wxDECORATIVE, wxROMAN, wxSCRIPT, 
           wxSWISS, wxMODERN.
           wxMODERN is a fixed pitch font; the others are either fixed or 
           variable pitch. 
 Style 
           The value can be wxNORMAL, wxSLANT or wxITALIC. 
 Weight 
           The value can be wxNORMAL, wxLIGHT or wxBOLD. 
 Underlining 
           The value can be TRUE or FALSE. 
 Face name 
           An optional string specifying the actual typeface to be used. 
           If NULL, a default typeface will chosen based on the family. 

Play around with these and also play around with Boa's font dialog to see if
you can spot it there.

Oki.
But is it possible to specify a specific font :o).
I mean in my xterminal I got:

-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1

Is it possible to specify this font ?

I'm under Linux RH 6.0 :o) with wx* 2.13

  Nice to see the bug fixed (about the wxStaticText) :o).

  About the operations copy/cut/paste in the designer, when do you

There is an incomplete list in the file Bugs.txt distributed with Boa.
SourceForge also has Bug tracking features, feel free to submit them there,
it's stil empty at this stage.

The short answer is no, most frames are modules edited in Boa as plain python 
modules.

You will see in the 'Application' notebook the list of modules of the
application.
The image next to the module indicates the type (app module, frame module,
python
module, etc). When opened the module is interpreted according to the type.

One day Boa's frame modules will be viewable at design time.
There are a few reasons why they aren't yet:
* They were started before Boa could create them
* They don't follow all the conventions Boa require
* They use some controls not supported yet (toolbars, status bars etc)
* They are usually VERY dynamic (changed/manipulated at run time) which makes 
  static design time designing unpractical.
  
  I would encourage people to only design the bits that stay static in the
  visual environment and then do the rest at runtime in their code. I plan
  to actually follow this advice and at least have the modules in Boa 
  containing frames to display at least empty frames.

It's not yet possible to change in the GUI but you can change it in the code.
In line 278 of EditorView.py change
        self.SetFont(wxFont(9, wxMODERN, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL, false))
to whatever you prefer.

To change the font of the Shell page, in line 125 of Editor.py, change
        self.SetFont(wxFont(9, wxMODERN, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL, false))
to what you want.

Enjoy.

  I saw that boa is developped with boa. I have tried to open the file

My config looks almost exactly the same,

   RedHat 6.1
   gtk+ 1.2.5-2
   wxGTK 2.1.13-0
   wxPython 2.1.13-1
   python 1.5.2-7

All installed from rpms.

Bill Eldridge has reported a similar problem. He has narrowed it down
to wxBitmaps. I've suggested what I could think of but nothing has helped. 
It's a bit tricky as I don't have the problem (obviously).

I have a theory at the moment that for you guys the wxApp has to be 
instanciated before wxBitmaps for some strange reason.

I've reordered the code of Boa.py so that the app is created before anything
else is imported (what you intended), find it attached and please give me
feedback.

I have no idea what the CRITICALs mean, it probably has something to do 
with the fact that you have two app objects. I get the same if I 
instanciate wxApp twice under wxGTK. (which when done while a wxApp is 
in a MainLoop would give the error: Only 1 wxApp per process)
Creating two apps before entering one's MainLoop works without a hitch on
wxMSW. (Not that you would want to do that)

Hope the attached file helps.

[Boa Constr] cvs boa core dumps on RedHat 6.1/wx 2.1.3

[Jeff T. <jt...@ra...>]

Has anyone seen the following behavior?  have a workaround?


first, my configuration:

  RedHat 6.1 (x86)
  gtk 1.2.6
  wxGTK 2.1.13
  wxPython 2.1.13
  python 1.5.2



the problem:

When i try to run the latest CVS version of Boa (or boa 0.0.3)
i get a segmentation fault during startup.  the problem occurs
the first time anyone tries to create a wxImageList (in the case
of running "python Boa.py", that occurs during parsing of
Debugger.BreakViewCtrl)

i assume the problem is some sort of wx startup race condition.
if i add the following code, before any of the imports, in Boa.py,
i don't get the core dump.


#
# XXX sjt - this seems to keep us from core dumping
#
from wxPython.wx import *
class DummyApp(wxApp):
    def OnInit(self):
        return true
dummy = DummyApp()




Although that avoids the core dump, it runs into a second problem, an
infinite supply of the following message, and no windows ever
pop up (i've only ever waited about 4-5 minutes before killing it)


GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 500 (g_source_remove): assertion
`tag > 0' failed.

GLib-CRITICAL **: file gmain.c: line 500 (g_source_remove): assertion
`tag > 0' failed.

...
...


I don't know if the two problems are related or not.

any clues?

thanks,
jeff

Hi everybody,

I thought I'd just break the silence. I don't really have anything to say so
this probably constitutes SPAM :)
