- I am attempting to support the users default fonts in a card file
- program which opens on the workbench screen. The problem is that I have a
- row of gadgets which are placed across the bottom of the screen. The
- gadgets currently re-size themselves to accommodate the font used. The only
- problem is that when the fonts get to big the gadgets begin to overlap
- each other. This happens when the point size begins to reach about 13 or
- 14 and I don't really have the option of opening a bigger window since
- the window is already 640 pixels wide.
-
- So, the question is how do I handle this problem and still follow C='s
- guidelines of supporting user preferred fonts?
-
- Should I only allow the user a maximum size and supply my own defaults if
- the size is exceeded?
-
- Any ideas would be appreciated.
