Re: Gdraw - setting popup message?

Thanks for all the help everyone.

It turned out that I could fix the problem by adding a GGadgetSetPopupMsg8, this way I could just pass it the value gettext gives directly.

+void GGadgetSetPopupMsg8(GGadget *g,const char *msg) {
+    unichar_t* temp = utf82u_copy(msg);
+    GGadgetSetPopupMsg(g, temp);
+    free(temp);
+}

Jeremy committed my recent work on user decompositions, and while that commit is adequate and works well enough, I'm making a better UI which you can see in https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/3659 - using GGadgetSetPopupMsg8 was essential to that because I have to change the popup messages based on what's ticked.

Would appreciate comments here or there on my new proposed UI :-) Using SplineFontTextArea has been a nightmare, but I've almost got it down pat!
