in reply to open-type fonts for Perl-Tk with Linux

Hi,

which version of Tk is that? Your example looks nice on Ubuntu 8.04. You probably need to build Tk with XFT=1. I think this is default with latest versions from CPAN.


Cheers, Chris

Update: Sorry, I was wrong: It's not set by default. You have to explicitly enable XFT support with perl Makefile.PL XFT=1
