Underlining Fonts in SWT 3.0 M7/Linux/GTK [message #439511] Mon, 12 July 2004 21:47 Go to next message

There seems to be no easy way to underline Fonts in SWT/Linux/GTK.
Font.java only takes the styles: NORMAL, BOLD, ITALIC as parameters to the
constructor.

Looking into the source code, font underlining is definitely supported in
OS.java through pango - has anyone implemented this on their own? I would
assume a starting point would be
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Graphics::drawText.

thanks for any suggestions,

Hi,

I was having the same problems and am now using Eclipse Forms Hyperlink
Widget to underline Labels. I think that widget is not setting underline
via pango, but drawing it via GC (making it platform independant).

See:
