[GNC-dev] [GNC] GnuCash 3.906 Released

[Robert Fewell]

I think for now we should disable it for MacOS until a solution presents
itself, maybe I will get a Macbook so I can test this.
John, is this right...
void
gnc_assoc_cell_set_use_glyphs (AssocCell *cell)
{
#ifdef MAC_INTEGRATION
    cell->use_glyths = FALSE;
#else
    gboolean use_glyphs = TRUE;
    gchar *test_text;
    GtkWidget *label;
    PangoLayout *test_layout;
    gint count;

    g_return_if_fail (cell != NULL);

    label = gtk_label_new (NULL);
    test_text = g_strconcat (GLYPH_LINK, ",", GLYPH_PAPERCLIP, NULL);
    test_layout = gtk_widget_create_pango_layout (GTK_WIDGET (label),
test_text);

    pango_layout_set_text (test_layout, test_text, strlen (test_text));

    count = pango_layout_get_unknown_glyphs_count (test_layout);

    if (count != 0)
        use_glyphs = FALSE;

    g_object_unref (test_layout);
    g_free (test_text);

    cell->use_glyphs = use_glyphs;
#endif
}
