Re: [Bug-apl] A GTK wrapper for GNU APL

[Elias Mårtenson]

I recommend using GNU FreeMono as the font. That's what I'm using in Emacs for APL buffers and it looks great. Much better than the disasters of fonts used by Dyalog.

The --with-apl-source-dir= thing is left over from an old version and I forget to take it out of the INSTALL file.  Now it asks apl itself where the source is.  If it's important, I can stick the option back in, but, mostly, it should do things automagically.

Cool. I didn't think to try that.

 

You can set the font size with the -s option:

aplwrap -s 22

for example, will set the size to 22 points.  Default is 12 points, which is kinda big, but with anything much smaller some characters like del-tilde are pretty muddy.   I'll see if I can find a mono-font.

Sadly, font size doesn't seem to be scaled to screen resolution (at least not on Fedora). On my work laptop with an HD screen, 17 points is a reasonable font size.
