Re: [Visualpython-users] New Beta Version error on Windows

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

Thanks for the report. The cursor issue is documented in the summary of 
new features; cursor manipulation hasn't yet been implemented in the 
beta version. Even in the production version of VPython there isn't a 
facility for changing the appearance of the cursor, only making it 
invisible/visible.

Could you please give us a short test program for which the font problem 
shows up? It wouldn't be a problem with the production version 
(non-beta). It also wouldn't be a problem with the previous beta 
version. It is only the very latest beta version 20 for Windows that 
uses gtk2 (like in the Linux version), and pango is the font-handling 
subsystem in gtk2. I suppose it is possible that there is some aspect of 
Windows Me that is the limitation: that's a pretty old operating system.
