XRC defined GUI elements have text that is too big
I've been using wxFormBuilder for years now. Everything works great however when I moved to 2.9.1 I've noticed that all my GUI text elements have a different font than shown in wxformbuilder preview editor. Everything is giant when it's finally renedered in my app instead of the editor. The XRC file seems to be the same so I think 2.9.1 is messing up the fonts and changing them to larger ones. Anyone seeing this behavior?
I believe some/many GUI elements will use a font given by the system. i.e. the font that's selected by the OS screen/display properties. See wxSystemSettings. I've tried to make my controls' sizes (when not using default sizes) take this into account, so they display reasonably well for larger system fonts.
Not sure if this is your problem or if 2.9.1 changed how default fonts are selected.

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/12733 - it is a confirmed bug in 2.9.x. I had to give up using XRC because of it. Seems it is not going to be fixed.

Crap. Thanks for posting. It's good to know it's already been picked up. It seems to have been changed to 2.9.2 milestone. I hope they can fix it. This is a big bug as everything comes out messed upokurtsev wrote:http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/12733 - it is a confirmed bug in 2.9.x. I had to give up using XRC because of it.
