I’ve been having some hassles with fonts in QT - namely with setPixelSize. I was trying to set the font width but as it didn’t work as expected I googled & got http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2006-08/thread00205-0.html

Yes, isn’t the documentation of the function clear enough?

Well as the documentation says:
void QFont::setPixelSize ( int pixelSize )
Sets the font size to pixelSize pixels.

No it isn’t really. That’s not documentation, that’s just reiteration.

And as the method actually turns out to set the height of font not the width that’s a “No Points” to TrollTech and a

So to continue the “is coding creative” debate I have an example of how the net is allowing everyone to get an audience for the ones they made earlier. Click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqFf_XmD4X8 because KevF is an acquaintance, we share the same surname and because it is funny.

Can we be creative without an audience? If a picture is painted in a forest and no one sees it, is it art? I kind of think we need an audience - maybe someone can say why because logically if I’m doing the creating why do I need you looking on? Seems we do though.

Hence flicker and you tube and my space and blogs and personal web pages… There is something different about a blog to a secret diary, something different about a funny film published to one never seen.

Programming then - where’s the audience? The customer tends to be unappreciative and working modes restrictive (see previous posts) but Open Source gives us the chance to produce something we want to, the way we want and give us an appreciative audience - we even show off the code!

Another “hurrah” for Open Source Software then.

Does that sound like M$ threatening the EU? You make life difficult for us and we’ll make life difficult for you (where “You” is the EU Commission and “you” is all the companies and individuals in the EU).

A report on high energy physics on the BBC Today program referred to Stephen Hawking’s comment that we might be one step nearer knowing the mind of God. This is like saying understanding DRAM brings one step closer to knowing the mind of Bill Gates.

Why does someone as obviously clever as Hawking get “how” confused with
