Re: [XForms] pre-release xforms-1.3.12

[oleuthold]

Hi Jens,
      I think that the functions

        void fl_set_global_font_scaling(double scale); and
        void fl_set_font_scaling_factor(int    index, double factor);

are missing in the forms.h header file.
The function int fl_set_xft_font_name(int index, const char * name,
                           int slant, int weight);
works as expected. This will allow me to use the condensed font, and
check whether the font is available on the system.
BTW, (for the benefit of everybody else) the demo program fonts.c is
a nice way to check the font setup within xforms.
Regards
      Oskar
