[Gnuplot-info] Problem reading wgnuplot.ini

[Procházka L. <lp...@po...>]

Hello,

I'm a WinXP user.

I'm trying to change the default window font from "Terminal" to "Courier  
New".

In the manual I found this could be done by specifying "TextFont" in the  
wgnuplot.ini, which is placed in the directory where the system variable  
"AppData" points.

So here is the content of my wgnuplot.ini:

[WGNUPLOT]
TextOrigin=44 44
TextSize=567 460
TextMinimized=0
TextFont=Courier New,10
SysColors=0

The problem is that gnuplot still uses the (default) terminal. What's  
wrong?

I have a "suspicion":

My country is the Czech Republic; that means our language uses diacritics  
in words; and Windows gladly use spaces in file/directory names.

So here is the contents of my AppData variable:

D:\Lukas\Docs\GNUPlot>set appdata
APPDATA=C:\Documents and Settings\Lukas\Data aplikací

As you can see, there is the "í" letter - could this be the problem?

And one more idea -

- if the gnuplot doesn't find the wgnuplot.ini in the directory where the  
%AppData% points, would it try to find it in the directory where the  
%GNUPLOT% points?

The idea is based on that I (and maybe more people) synchronize their data  
between more computers (devices). It may be probable that if the  
wgnuplot.ini was placed in the %GNUPLOT% directory, it would be involved  
for synchronization process (especially if it contains gnuplot.ini startup  
file).

But I don't believe so if it was placed in %AppData%.

Maybe one more question concerning keeping the window position - it might  
be useful to keep it separately for each computer name.

The reason is that each computer might have another resolution for the  
same user - e.g. "normal" monitor at work, wide monitor at home and a  
small monitor at laptop.

Than it would be useful to keep window positions for each %ComputerName%  
(which would distinguish the computer used).

So the .ini section would look like (supposing "set computername" gets  
e.g. "Lukas-Home"):

[WGNUPLOT]
TextFont=Courier New,10

[WGNUPLOT.WindowSize.Lukas-Home]
Left=0
Right=120
Top=0
Bottom=90
IsMaximalized=0

(Just a suggestion.)

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Lukas
