Hi Richmond,
Could it be that the font names have changed on Xubuntu 12.04? Or the font
is not present on Xubuntu 12.04?
I see the same thing when I work with a font and the font is not installed
on the pc the app is used on.
That's certainly a thought.
I have to go back and look at the original stacks.
What I cannot remember is whether I set the textFont as well as
the textSize.
However, whether the textFont was set or not, I cannot quite work out
why the textSize is not preserved.
Richmond.

This may be a bit of a niche problem [a niche consisting of me, myself and
I],
but problem it is, nevertheless (nice spot of grammatical inversion there):
A series of EFL standalones I authored with LC/RR 2.2.1 on Linux about 6/7
years ago
have been causing me some problems recently.
All of those stacks were authored with the textFields set to a fontSize of
24.
Until recently I was running the PCs in my school on Edubuntu 7.10 and
Ubuntu 8.something, and
the textFields were displaying text at size 24.
I am gently changing my machines over to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS [and, thanks to
the very sound advice from
Mark Wieder, putting the 'Home' folder on a separate partition to the
'Root' partition; speeds things up no end].
BUT, now those standalones are displaying text at size 10!!!!!
This is a PIB to say the least.
So, here I am on my "day off" looking at the source stacks and feeling
foolish.
I have to do ONE thing, which I wonder how to do: and that is to guarantee
that the
texts will display at size 24.
I don't know whether the problem has been because the textSize was set for
each stack individually
(rather than for either the card or the stack), whether this is something
to do with the fact that they
contain the 2.2.1 Linux engine (that is easily rectified), or something
else.
HOWEVER, as these standalones are used to fairly good effect on an almost
daily basis I don't want to:
1. Chuck them out.
2. Put all the PCs back to Edubuntu 7.10.
3. Rewrite everything from scratch.
Richmond.
