3251.0. "Resizing fonts with window ?" by TOWNS::RUFFIEUX () Thu Aug 23 1990 19:13

    
    I have an application that must, like the DECwindows calculator,
    resize the fonts inside a window as the window resizes.  (i.e.
    when you resize the calculator, its buttons and fonts within the
    buttons also resize)  This part of my application is all done
    low-level, no toolkit.  Does anybody know how this is done?
    
    Thanks,

Since I wrote I guess I know how its done.  Basically I get a list of fonts
freom the resource.  The default is all of the Times Bold family.  I order
the fonts by size since they don't come in that way.   Whenever the calculator
changes size I compare the available key space to the font list and switch to 
the right font.
