[about breakage in the selection of fonts for plots on Windows]

A long time ago we decided to use a native Windows function (ChooseFont) for font selection in our Windows builds, as opposed to the GTK function that we use on Linux and Mac. It seems that our ChooseFont usage has been subject to bitrot. I think the best solution is to go over to GTK font selection on Windows.

Well actually that didn't turn out too well, for various reasons. But in the latest snapshots I've made a determined effort to get Windows' ChooseFont() working correctly. Please test so we can ensure this is right in the next release.

Allin thanks a lot for your efforts.

Something has changed (there is a response from pressing the fonts button) but it produces an error (latest snapshot 7-12-2018).

 

I attach a screenshot to see what I get.

 

I also attach a screenshot with some information about my computer (at home, laptop).

First thing Monday morning I will test at the office as well with a more recent windows version.
