I acknowledge that I already posted a similar post to this list already. However, I think it is a notable issue that affects using GTK+ applications in certain languages on Windows. I guess so far I've had 2 issues: 1. The normal fonts commonly used on Windows for displaying Japanese text will not display bold text. Bold isn't even an option for these fonts through GTK. 2. The only exception I've found so far is the Tahoma font, which I have been using as a workaround. However, I've found out that it bolds only the English text, not the Japanese text. This means that (as far as I know) I have no way using standard GTK methods to display bold Japanese text on Windows. Issue 1 can be observed by just opening a Gtk font chooser dialog in any Windows GTK application. Issue 2 I've demonstrated using this test application (using GTKmm): http://pastebin.ca/970962 And here's a screenshot showing comparisons between the test app and Windows Notepad, using the exact same test string and Tahoma Bold 32 font: http://www.vultaire.net/misc/gtkmm_vs_windows_notepad.png I really would like to get some feedback on this. I'm enjoying working with GTK, but this is kind of a bummer for the application I'm working on. - Paul Goins Libs in use: atk-dev-1.22.0.zip cairo-dev-1.4.14.zip gettext-runtime-dev-0.17-1.zip glib-dev-2.16.1.zip gtk+-dev-2.12.9.zip jpeg-6b-4-lib.zip libpng-1.2.8-lib.zip pango-dev-1.20.0.zip tiff-3.8.2-1-lib.zip win_iconv-tml-20080317.zip Plus matching GTKmm libs _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
