Tiny fonts in wxPython app

Hello,

I'm not yet a python programmer but a python user. I faced a problem
with tiny fonts in a wxPython app on a GNU/Debian system. Under Gentoo
Linux the fonts are displayed in a normal readable size. Only on that
Debian system fonts in the whole app are rather tiny. I spend quite a
long time googling for a solution and found several hints on font
problem issues in wxPython but none fitted to that mentioned above. Does
anybody has a clue what can be wrong?

Thanx

Sven,
It may be the default gtk font settings. This can be changed in the
..gtkrc file.

I'm not sure but the gnome font in general looks okay? Could be
something about proportional fonts? Or maybe a Unicode issue? I read
something about that.

I'm learning Tkinter, from Grayson's book and some online sources. I don't know how to find out which color names and font names are available on my system. I'm using Windows 2000. I assume that info is in some file or files somewhere, buy I don't know the file name or directory. Thanks, Mitchell Timin

I'm trying to install wxPython 2.5.3.1 using Python 2.3.2 on a Fedora 2 machine. I have python in a non-standard place, but I'm using --prefix with the configure script to point to where I have everything. The make install in $WXDIR seemed to go fine. I have the libxw* libraries in my lib/ directory libwx_base-2.5.so@ libwx_gtk_adv-2.5.so.3.0.0* libwx_base-2.5.so.3@ libwx_gtk_core-2.5.so@

Hello, I've looked through alt.html and this group for an answer to my question.

So I'm afraid to ask this but I need to know!...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
