Hi. After upgrading to Mandrake 7.1 (using XFree86 v4.0.1), I've found
IDL is not displaying fonts properly on the faces of widgets. All the
characters look like empty squares.
I was using:
widget_control, default_font='8x13'
So I changed this to use a specific font:
widget_control, default_font = $
'-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1'
This rectifies the problem for widget faces, but the text inside
dialog_pickfile dialogs is still garbled.
Can anyone help me understanding this?
Thanks, Nick.
