Text rendered different in WinXP <-> Linux Daniel Polski May 01, 2006  
 

Hello,
I just noticed that some things looks different depending on which platform I run my application on. I don't know the cause of this, but I guess it might simply be that text looks different in linux & windows (are the settings in my linuxbox "wrong"?). Anyway, here you can see an example of the difference:

Both texts were drawn using FL_HELVETICA_BOLD in size 12. The height of the text seems similar, but the width seems much wider in my linux machine.

Anyone know why the text is wider in linux than in windows for me?

Thank you in advance,
Daniel
