Doublecmd fonts become dots Linux QT5 Sway/Wayland.

[siyia2]

Hello, sometimes when i change workspace back n forth, or the screenlocker runs, all fonts in doublecmd-qt5 become dots. Happens only with qt5 version of the program.

Hi, I guess it can be some incompatibility with XWayland, see also #193

[siyia2]

Thx, that could be it, although with current pascal + lazarus version doublecmd seems to run natively on wayland. Damn why did you chose to write it in pascal? that's an odd choice of a programming language.

[alexx2000]

Current version use XWayland by default. How to execute on native Wayland written here.

Because Pascal is a great and pleasant language. But it undeservedly forgotten today.

For me it is not odd at all. It is a more than the right choice.
You have no idea how awesome can Pascal be. It has a very long list of features and advantages and combined with Lazarus, the visual development environment for Free Pascal Compiler, it is a complete and great package to work with.

Note these features:

• a mature IDE where you can quickly create a program by drag-and-dropping components of a form
• easily readable syntax
• high speed of execution
• low memory use
• fast, mature and very optimized compiler
• the programs it creates do not depend on any external frameworks and *.dll libraries, and can be distributed as single *.exe files, compatible with a very wide range of operating system versions
• it can create programs for Linux, Windows, MacOS and may other platforms. Very easily, with little or no modifications to the code
• compile software that runs on bare hardware, without operating system, or the web
• the syntax is compatible with that of Delphi
• I am sure there are more, but I don't remember them now.

And if I look at TIOBE ranking for December 2021, I see that Object Pascal is #16 as the most searched for programming language. So it's not all that forgotten. It's just burried in a lot of modern day crap.

@siyia2: How can this be an odd choice? How many languages do you know that can do this?

Efficiency wise C is the King it seems and it is widely supported. I would argue in saying that C is the mother/father of modern programming languages, and plus the only language i know to use in some detail :)

bruh

[siyia2]

lol ok

@siyia2: It is possible that C could be a little more efficient, but if I have to guess, I would say by a small percent only.
However, this world cannot be full of kings. There also have to exist queens. Would you settle for a queen, siyia2? :))

bruh2
lets agree that electron is the future queen or something and get the discussion back on track

Hello, i figured this was a general issue with qt5 in wayland enviroment.
Setting:

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
QT_FONT_DPI=101

in /etc/enviroment resolves the font issue
