Re: changing font, color, size, etc. in a GtkEntry

[Eric Wajnberg <eric wajnberg sophia inra fr>]

Ok, I finally find out what was the problem..

I had to add the library pango-1.0.lib in the compiling options.

Strange that this was not included initially when building a project 
with gtk+.

Pffff.. I spent days on this...

Thanks is all cases for your help on this.

Cheers, Eric.
