Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Musical symbols instead of text on UI labels!?

[Mark K. K. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi team,

The issue has been resolved in a separate email thread.  It involved a few
changes, mostly limited to macOS, but one affecting all platforms.  Would
anyone object to changing this setting in fonts.h:

#define PANGO_DEFAULT_FONT "BitStream Vera"


to:

#define PANGO_DEFAULT_FONT "DejaVu Sans"


?

It appears the default font we use, default_font.ttf, is actually named
"DejaVu Sans", so attempting to load it using the name "BitStream Vera" can
load a different font.

Happy holidays everyone!

Mark
