[Fxruby-users] FXFont initialization is complex

[Simon S. <ne...@ad...>]

I went to my friends place and was hopeing to demonstrate my Aeditor GUI 
frontend to him.   He uses windows.. I use linux.

the #initialize method 

@font = FXFont.new(
	application, 
	"lucidatypewriter",
	24,
	FONTWEIGHT_BOLD,
	FONTSLANT_REGULAR,
	FONTENCODING_DEFAULT,
	FONTSETWIDTH_DONTCARE,
	FONTPITCH_FIXED
) 

the #create method

def create
	super
	@font.create
	@back_buffer.create
	@canvas.setFocus
	update_title 
end 


First I tried changing to a windows specific font

@font = FXFont.new(application, 	"Fixedsys")

But that segfaulted

<feature-request>
I tried selecting a font via the fontselector.. but never managed to get it 
working.  Better default-values would be nice.
</feature-request>

<feature-request>
I tried add debug statements to the fxruby's sample editor, but had to
write all fields manually that I wanted to see.  It would be nice if #inspect
was providing this information.
</feature-request>

I spend 30 minutes attempting to change font.. but unsuccessfully. 
Please make font handling more robust, to avoid segfaults ;-)


Otherwise thanks Jeroen and Lyle for this great project.
