Tk_GetFontStruct for Win32

Tk_GetFontStruct for Win32

[Joachim Faulhaber]

Hello,

I'm porting a program using Cygnus from Linux to Windoze. My program
uses tcl/tk and the XFontStruct font description to deal with X-fonts
under X. Under win95 my program compiles nicely except for a linker
error:

undefined reference to Tk_GetFontStruct

Obviously there is no function Tk_GetFontStruct and probably no
XFontStruct available for win95. Can someone give me information how I
can find font description structures for win32 and Tk-functions to work
with them. Where can I find documentation. Are there good books for
those questions of Win32-programming?

any help appreciated

You must still be using tk4.2 on Linux since it's been gone in tk8.0
and beyond! If you use tcl/tk, then you *must* read the changes file to 
see what has changed since the last release, especially the ones marked 
"POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY".

These have been replaced by much more usable and portable Tk_GetFont,
Tk_NameOfFont and Tk_FreeFont. See the manual pages for tcl/tk8.0+ for
fore more info.

This particular case obviously has nothing to do with Win32-programming,
but rather the Tk interface.
