A while ago I was working on a way to store font information in a text configuration file. I thought I'd got it licked, but unfortunately my first port (from Windows to Linux) makes it look as though I haven't.

I wonder if anyone has already done this and can point me at a canned solution? If not I can willingly bore you with the details, but I warn you in advance it's not pretty.

    We've done a lot of work in sorting out the underlying guts of wxPython's font handling for Dabo, so that you can work with an object's font in a more sane fashion, with code such as:

textbox.FontSize = 12
textbox.FontBold = True

    ... and it just works like you would expect. If you aren't in a position to use dabo.ui for your app, you can take a look at the font- handling code in dabo.ui.uiwx.dPemMixin.py to see if any of our approaches might work for you.

Thanks, Ed, I'll take a look at the code.

Weren't you going to update me after PyCon about Dabo on Windows? I don't remember hearing anything, so I hope this is a sign that you are earning a living!

I sent you an email when we released 0.6, as well as for 0.6.1 and 0.6.2. I assume that you didn't get them?

  Well, in any case, the Windows Runtime Engine has been posted for a while. You can grab it from <http://dabodev.com/download#binary&gt;\.

  The installer creates the Dabo framework files separate from the compiled-together stuff, so you can update them from Subversion or the nightly tarballs and get the latest stuff without having to re-install everything.
