Hi PerlMonks,


the following szenarios give me some headache:

1. ActivePerl (5.14.3.1404) under MS Windows using different fonts works well.

2. Cross-packaging the code using PerlApp (9.1.1) to Linux (Mint 14.2) using the very same ActivePerl (5.14.3.1404) Linux version gives me just very poor quality fonts (reminds me on plotting 20 years ago).

3. Straight ActivePerl (5.14.3.1404) under Linux without PerlApp: same poor fonts as described under 2.

4. 'native' Perl (5.14) (which comes with the Linux Mint distribution) gives me perfect fonts (as expected).

Could anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
jowe

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
