Re: [Gtk-osx-users] Gtk-ERROR **: Unable to load "fixed" font

[Pascal <p....@or...>]

Hi John,
Well, I understand that all things in GTK 2 won't be fixed since GTK 3 is on the way.
But I was expecting a middle way as a standard default font implemented instead of getting an error :-(

By the way, I wrote for French readers a little howto install GTK and GTKAda.

Regards, Pascal.

It probably works OK there, though I can't say I've tested it. Since 2.24 is a bug-fix end-of-life release series, it's not likely ever to be fixed there. That means that you'll have to wait until Gtk-Ada is ported to Gtk+-3 to have font features fully supported. The good news is that unlike some of the other bindings GtkAda appears to be active.
