    Hello! I have a small problem that I am unsure is fixable. I am trying to make the font that all my widgets are drawn with to be Hershey fonts instead of device fonts. Is this possible? Currently all widgets that have text associated with them are drawn only with device fonts. Can I force the widgets to use Hershey (or even TrueType) fonts? I want to do this so that I can dynamically scale the size of the text in my widgets when I dynamically change the window size of my application. Any ideas? Thanks! Caleb Wherry

    Brandon, Thanks for your reply! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, I have been extremely busy lately! I do have a question about your response though. In IDL documentation, it is stated that the FONT keyword only takes hardware fonts. This is fine on a windows box because I can use TrueType fonts. My problem is when I am running my application on a linux box. I can only use the fonts that are native to that system. Is there any way around this? It would be extremely convient if I could use one of the TrueType fonts bundled with IDL for all my widget text. This would mean my application would be completely cross-plateform and not have to rely on any hardware specific fonts. Is there any way to do this? Thanks for your help! Caleb
