We are using the FOX library for GUI front ends to our seismic attribute software. To be specific, I have created a Canvas based seismic data viewer for use with our software suite. I am using 90 degree rotated text labels to label the axes. Unfortunately, getFontHeight, getFontAscent, getFontDescent, and get TextHeight all return the value 0. Unrotated text values are fine. This ends up misplacing some of the labels on the image. It is not terrible, and I could probably code a work around, but I would rather not.

The system is 64 bit Linux specifically RedHat AS release 4. FOX version 1.6.46.

Thank you for developing this software. It has helped us out greatly for producing the front end GUIs for our Fortran 95 based code. And of course, we are moving to be multiplatform: Linux and Windows, and FOX makes it easy for us at least for the GUIs.
