TCL(Tool Command Language) Scripting :: Making tcl/tk work correctly with a wide-screen monitor


	Making tcl/tk work correctly with a wide-screen monitor I recently bought a wide-screen monitor to use with my home PC running linux. All the other applications look good, but the wish apps all have extra spacing between the letters, and the letters themselves appear to be a bit stretched horizontally. Here's what I've got in XF86Config for the monitor setup for my default resolution: Section "Monitor" Identifier "SyncMaster940bw" VendorName "Samsung" HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 56-75 # Sony Vaio C1(X,XS,VE,VN)? # 1440x900 @ 85.6 Hz, 48 kHz hsync ModeLine "1440x900" 106.5 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync -vsync I installed ActiveTcl (and BLT) prior to switching monitors and changing XF86Config. /dev/in schrieb: - Hide quoted text - > I recently bought a wide-screen monitor to use with my home PC running > linux.

Take a close look at tk scaling, if it shows the right dpi value for your machine. Its one of the possible problems. http://wiki.tcl.tk/8484 If its just the fonts, try the difference between Tk 8.5 with xft vs Tk 8.4 without.
