I'm using a recent (nightly build) DrRacket (5.3.0.1--2012-04-12) on
Vista and observe that 'roman works, but 'script and 'symbol fail with
the message at the top left corner of the frame in a normal sized
windows system font. <div class="yj6qo ajU"><div id=":br" class="ajR" tabindex="0"><img class="ajT" src="images/cleardot.gif"></div></div><div class="adL"><br></div><span class="HOEnZb adL"><font color="#888888">
<br>- Kieron.</font></span><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 7:33 AM, Harry Spier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vasishtha.spier@gmail.com">vasishtha.spier@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'm using Windows Vista<br>
When I create a window with a title as follows:<br>
<br>
#lang racket/gui<br>
<br>
;Top level window<br>
(define main-ocr-frame (new frame%<br>
[label "DEVANAGARI OCR"]<br>
[width 10000]<br>
[height 10000]))<br>
<br>
<br>
;Main title<br>
(define title (new message%<br>
[parent main-ocr-frame]<br>
[label "DEVANAGARI OCR PROJECT"]<br>
[font (make-object font% 40 <font-name> 'normal 'bold)]))<br>
<br>
<br>
(send main-ocr-frame show #t);display window<br>
<br>
It works correctly if <font-name> is any of:<br>
'modern<br>
'default<br>
'system<br>
'decorative<br>
'swiss<br>
<br>
but if <font-name> is any of:<br>
'roman<br>
'script<br>
'symbol<br>
<br>
Then the font size stays small and doesn't increase no matter what I<br>
set the font size to, but as I increase the font size all that happens<br>
is that the message label gets pushed farther and farther to the left.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
