Subject description: Reference programs for using BaCon and HUG widgets		  
.
I started out to learn BaCon programming and the HUG widgets.
Somehow one of the sample programs I started evolved into
this program, pFontSelect. Puppy already has Gfontsel,
which will return the Font and Size. pFontSelect returns
those parameters and also the Style ie. Regular, Italic, etc.
pFontSelect also reports how many fonts are registered
on your system.

Anyway I thought this might be helpful as a reference to
using some of the HUG widgets.

Very nice, compiled in 6 seconds
Just 1 comment for now: the buttons need more width (I used to give them 120px)
Thank you

Dear Rod,

Nice work. My suggestion is to change your font_list$ = EXEC$ line to:

Code:
font_list$ = REPLACE$(EXEC$("fc-list | cut -d':' -f1 | sort | cut -d',' -f1 | uniq"),"\\-","-")


The reason is that "fc-list" will give you an escaped hyphen if the internal ttf name contains a hyphen. The font name will show in the list but the real font won't display (i.e. no real glyphs).

With kind regards,
vovchik

I've incorporated your suggestions in the first post's
code. I used a button width of 100. 120 seemed
a little excessive for those two buttons. Try
that size and see if it is addequate for you.

I don't currently have a font with a hyphen. If you do
you might check that out.

Other than being a tad bit wider to accommodate the
buttons, the app looks the same.

Thanks Wink L18L and volchik

Dear Rod,

You will see why the REPLACE$ mod is needed if you install the attached font (just unpack and copy into HOME$/.fonts). There might be other "escaped chars" generated by fc-list, too, but this is the first one I came upon.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Yes, it is Exclamation

The red and green squares animating the buttons are very nice.

BTW, I have compared pFontSelect to yad --font, gfontselect,...
pFontSelect has the advantage of changing sizes "step 1" Smile

Subject description: Anomoly		  
I tested pFontSelect on another Linux OS. The app title
in the top frame (not the window title) did not appear.
I checked and that system did not have the "cursor" font
that puppy 525 has. So I changed the title font to a
common one, DejaVu Sans.

The title was still blank, and if I selected the same
combination for font description, the pre-view text
would disappear.

After several hours of hacking I chanced upon this fix.
Code:
junk_label = MARK("", 10, 10)
FONT(junk_label, "DejaVu Sans:Regular 6")
ATTACH(mainwin, junk_label, 0,0)

The construction "Font name COLON Style SPACE size"
ie "Font name:Style N" seems to be the only syntax
that works.

I put it in a SUB called "SUB_sync_font_description"
and call it before printing with any HUG widgets.

The sub addition is incorporated in the program listing
in the first post. And a new binary attached.

To try it, comment out the "SUB_sync_font_description" call.
Compile and run. Select DejaVu Sans Italic 18 and see if
the preview text and the app title both disappear.

Hi, this looks very very nice!
I am glad that you are thinking about greek, cyrillic ....

There are sample text phrases for some languages and I have played with Spanish, see screenshot.
I suggest you make the text display in more than just 1 line.

The samples are taken from quickbrown.txt see

You could let these preview texts let automatically appear dependent of user´s language and this can be built in the internationalization of your program. I could do it for you or help if you like. Smile

Thanks for the update

This program is an example of using EDITDIALOG, MSGDIALOG & FILEDIALOG.

If you use hug_imports.bac while developing and want the final app
to use hug.bac, keyword_list...

Hug Keyword Parser - Parses a Bacon source.bak file for HUG keywords.
Displays a new INCLUDE "/path/hug.bac", list_of_keywords In an Edit window.
Then you can copy/paste the Include line into your program.

Edit: I'm using BaCon GUI v 1.0.24 / hug.bac v.61+

- Latest Version 2.1 source attached. Added Direct Import statements from hug_imports.bac

I read in the forum that Barry has included BaCon in Puppy.
I`m running 5.11, which version has it?

I noticed at the BaCon web site a lot of addons, some for GTK+.
BaCon could turn out to be a good replacement for gtkDialog.
# Addendum: Looking at the GTK+ examples, it`s very code intensive.
# A converter needs to be written in BaCon to reduce the required code.
