I have just transfered a simple 3-form project from Windows7 to Linux (Raspbian on RPi4). I am using the same versions of Fpc and Lazarus on both (3.0.4 and 2.0.4).
The project compiled fine after the transfer to Raspbian as it did on Windows. But the form is very much in need of control changes since text no longer fits in the controls. Edit boxes grow a lot in height and so on. I can go into the font property of affected controls and change the font size to make it look better, but there are so many... If this is the normal case I don't see how I can maintain two versions from the same sources, I cannot ifdef UNIX vs Windows every place a font is mentioned in the code, in fact it is not even in the code but inside the form file (lfm)... There must be something I have done wrong here, but what? Any porting advice somewhere? I did not set font sizes at all in Lazarus on Windows. it used the defaults and when I check they are set to be 9. But in Lazarus on Linux the font size on the form is 10. It makes quite a difference. Is there some global project setting for the fonts that I can use to make the project cross-platform withut code changes? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
