Changing style font in Scintilla gadget does not work

Hi,

i want to change the default style font in a Scintilla gadget, but it does not work on Fedora 16 64-bit. Instead the font style changed to italic.

Code:

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows
  font.s = "Courier New"
  InitScintilla()  
CompilerElse
  font.s = "Monospace"
CompilerEndIf
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 400, "ScintillaGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ScintillaGadget(0, 8, 8, 384, 384, #Null)
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_STYLESETFONT, #STYLE_DEFAULT, @font)
ScintillaSendMessage(0, #SCI_SETTEXT, 0, @"This is a simple ScintillaGadget with text.")
Repeat 
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

On Windows XP 32-bit the code works as expected.

Thx for your help!

Uwe

In the meantime i found out that the font name needs an exclamation mark in front of the name, e.g. "!Monospace" instead of "Monospace". I do not know the reason but it works!

That's not a bug. It's scintilla on linux with GTK2 which requiers this. Gtk2 'Pango' need an "!" before the font name (else it will use GDK font).

Thx! An example for the ScintillaGadget in the "Examples" folder would be great :-)
