digitalmars.D.dwt - GtkD global font size

reply Sai <sai sai.com> writes:
I am writing a small GUI application using GtkD3 Builder and 
Glade. On a HD monitor the default font size is too small. The 
adwaita theme is not great but I can live with it.

Is there any way to globally increase the font size in the GtkD?

I tried the settings.ini file, but that did not help with my 
GtkD3 app. On the other hand, it did increase the global font 
size of the Glade tool, just not my application. Is some how GtkD 
different from pure Gtk application?

Thanks in advance.

This is the forum for the DWT library. I suggest you try the "learn" 
forum instead.

Considering the amount of traffic in this forum wouldn't it be 
better to relabel it as a GUI Forum?

Yup, that's what I thought, that this forum is not exclusive for 
DWT anymore, but is available for all Gui libs.

Anyway I did repost my question in GtkD GH issues.

For most exposure I recommend the learn forum or, as you did, post to 
GitHub.

Note also, the GtkD project has its own forum:

Do you running your GtkD app on Windows or Linux?

On Linux, font size may be controlled by gtk3 settings in /etc or 
by system fontconfig. On windows, you may just focus on 
settings.ini.

I just developed a GUI app using GTKD very recently, and it works 
greate, fontsize is also working great in the Chinese language.

I am using windows. I added a lot more info here including 
screenshots showing the issue, and code to reproduce the issue.
