My test environment on Fedora 10 is .82.  My XO, running the latest (I believe) release candidate of Sugar is .82.  Most of the XO's that might use Read Etexts will be running .82 or worse and will not be eager to upgrade.  For that reason I'm trying to make my Activity work around the limitations of older versions of Sugar.  As an example, .82 still has the bug that custom metadata is not saved across reboots.  I was using a custom metadata field to store the page number that the user stopped reading on.  In my latest this page number is saved at the end of the Title of the Journal entry, like this: Off on a Comet! by Jules Verne P64 Aleksey and I also put in code that suppresses the Speech tab when neither speech-dispatcher nor the gstreamer plugin for espeak is installed.

In 0.84 Pango knows the resolution of the screen and scales all fonts accordingly. This means that by using, say 10, the font will always look good in all hw. In 0.82 didn't knew about the screen, so we were scaling all fonts by using style.zoom(). Aleksey, do you have an idea about what can do activity authors that wish to provide a single bundle that looks good both in 0.82 and 0.84? Thanks, Tomeu </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">This is the code I'm currently using: self.scrolled = gtk.ScrolledWindow() self.scrolled.set_policy(gtk.POLICY_NEVER, gtk.POLICY_AUTOMATIC) self.scrolled.props.shadow_type = gtk.SHADOW_NONE self.textview = gtk.TextView() self.textview.set_editable(False) self.textview.set_cursor_visible(False) self.textview.set_left_margin(50) self.textview.connect("key_press_event", self.keypress_cb) buffer = self.textview.get_buffer() buffer.connect("mark-set", self.mark_set_cb) self.font_desc = pango.FontDescription("sans %d" % style.zoom(10)) self.textview.modify_font(self.font_desc) self.scrolled.add(self.textview) self.textview.show() self.scrolled.show() v_adjustment = self.scrolled.get_vadjustment() self.clipboard = gtk.Clipboard(display=gtk.gdk.display_get_default(), selection="CLIPBOARD") self.page = 0 self.textview.grab_focus() The "sans 10" font is really too small for SoaS but on the XO it makes 80 columns of text fill the width of the screen.  Any ideas?
