How to restore letter spacing of 2.8.12 in 3.0.2? Topic is solved

[Tapsa]

Is there a method to change the letter spacing all over my application?

What OS are you using?
On Windows you can try the different manifest (if you are using the manifest which comes with wx distro then try to use the default one from VS linker settings and vise versa).

I am using Win 10 now and building with Mingw-builds 5.3.0. How can I use the manifest that came with wx 2.8.12?

I'm not sure that's a manifest problem. Executables with missing manifest look very different (= ugly), that's hard to miss.

I have a faint memory that wx3.x uses a bigger default gui font, but i can't find a post on the mailing list anywhere, so i'm not 100% sure about it, maybe i mix that up with something else.

If that's the case and you *really* want the same font size, you could set it yourself. If you set it to a wxFrame before creating any children, they should all inherit that font.

Thanks, doublemax.
Changing default font point size from 9 to 8 on my frames and dialogues did pretty much what I wanted.
