Re: [Pythoncard-users] font underline

[Ray A. <ray...@sa...>]

It seems therefore that I can't simply hack it by adding code to the 
resource file -  as a relative newbie I was hoping to avoid delving into wx 
at this stage, but thanks for the information on why this is happening. 
Maybe there is an alternative though?  I was trying to indicate to the user 
that they can see more information by selecting an item from the list.  I 
thought that by adding an underline to the item text it would look more like 
a link, encouraging the user to 'drill down'.  Is there anything else I 
could do to give this impression - using Pythoncard?

In the Font dialog the sample of the font will display with overstrike and
underline, so it is clear if a font supports those characteristics.
The Font dialog settings are not all being saved by pythoncard methods.

The pythoncard/dialog.py FontDialog method has the code
"result.fontDescription = fontDescription(fontWx)"
and this result is returned by FontDialog, however the
fontDescription method of pythoncard/font.py which sets the
returned dictionary uses only a few of the font.Getxxxx methods
and it does not do a font.GetUnderlined

So, fontDescription fails to retrieve all of the font properties which
may be set in the Font dialog.
The on_wFont_mouseClick method in propertyEditor.py which called
the font dialog doesn't extract many of the font properties anyway.
These two methods would need to be hacked or fixed to reserve
the underline/overstrike settings (and more?) from the Font dialog
