[Gambas-user] The hell of font size

[Peter]

Hallo Rolf,

i think, this problem is a problem of standard-font assignment in Gambas. In 
the IDE i found: Application.Font = Font["10"] in startmodul "Project". 
The startclass:
STATIC PUBLIC SUB Main()
  DIM hForm AS Form
  Application.Font = Font["10"]
  hForm = NEW FMain
  hForm.show  
END
unfixes my problem (your also ???).

A look of the source from Gambas IDE aids often 

Attention, Application.Font ... after hForm.show work not for menu text.

Regards
Peter
