Re: [XForms] Help with XForms

Hi all,

I'm still in the middle of writing a custom button, but I seem to be
stuck on font sizes.

I am not able to change font/label sizes with fl_set_object_lsize(). I
understand that not all sizes may be installed for that font on my
system, but none of the FL_HUGE_SIZE, FL_LARGE_SIZEs worked.

My workaround is adding a fl_get_font_name() function which fetches
the font-string and modifies the width and height field directly and
set it via fl_set_font_name().

Is there a better alternative?

Oh, while we are on this subject, can we add a corresponding
fl_get_font_name() function to the library? It doesn't have one by
default.
