There has been a change to the Font syntax

I have discovered that in Gambas V3.20.0 the font syntax has changed, and the earlier syntax does not work any more.

The earlier syntax, as still shown on the wiki HERE, is:-



But now it has changed to: -



Was
.Font = Font["Ubuntu,55,bold"]
Now
.Font = Font["Ubuntu,bold,55"]




 

It's supposed to be backwards compatible, mention it to Benoit.

Thanks, email sent.

Oops , sorry i realized that the actual recent changes were not mentioned.

There were some changes in Font structure I think meant to make it more compatible with web fonts.

What you mention as the change (not working a certain way round anymore) I do not think is intentional. just a glitch in the updated code.
