[ruby-talk:20957] Re: Is Ruby/Tk being maintained?

Hi, Matz.  Thank you for your reply.  Would Mr. Nagai prefer that
I send to him directly? I am running on Win32 during the day at
work and on Linux at night at home.  On windows I am running the
executable installation ruby164-2.exe and whatever Tk comes with
it.  I am at work now so I don't remember exactly the versions I
have installed on Linux, but I'll get it to you tonight.  I'm
pretty sure it's the same.  I can send you and Mr. Nagai copies
of my program (about 700 lines) or I can try to build a small
script that duplicates the problem.  I have included below the
output from the same program on Win32.  Interestingly, it seems
to want a different font.  As before, it runs fine with the
courier 12 font, and only fails when invoked with the -rdebug
option.

        @courier12             =
'-*-Courier-*-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*'        
  
        # Define text widget to hold table
        @doc = TkText.new(parent,
            'relief'        => 'sunken',
            'bd'            => '2',
            'font'          => @courier12,
            'wrap'          => 'none'
            )
