Display problem with LineEdit after change font [message #6756]

Hi!

I encounter some problem if I use SetFont for a LineEdit control. The display of the content seems to use wrong character spacing then and looks very odd.

I created an example and attach it, as well as a screenshot to see the odd display.

This happens on Win2K with U++ 610-dev2.

Maybe a problem in the Paint method of LineEdit. I had a look there, but don't really understand what is going on.

Sorry - LineEdit supports monospaced fonts only (well, recently it supports double-spaced to support CJK, but that is it).

Maybe you should use DocEdit instead?

Monospace is fine for me. I only need to reduce the font size for my application. Is 'Courier' monospaced font, or which is best to use?

Thanks for the very fast answers

Yes, Courier is monospaced by definition.

Hi Mirek!

Thanks. Courier works fine. I thought StdFont is Courier, but it's not. Otherwise would have tried Courier earlier.

Thanks again
