Text won't display in Perl/Tkby PrimeLord (Pilgrim) |

PrimeLord has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I recently created a standalone windows executeable with pp in the PAR package to run a little Perl/Tk GUI app. On my PC which has ActiveState installed the application runs perfectly both as the perl script and then as the standalone .exe file.
However when I sent the application to a buddy the Tk box displayed, but the text was all garbled. The text appeared to be various ASCII characters. I thought it was maybe a font issue so I forced the font int he boxes to be Times New Roman 10, but that didn't change anything. Everything else appeared to work properly. The radio buttons and the scroll box all showed up and the application produced the reports correctly when I told him which buttons to push. You just can't read any of the text. I tried a few different pp build methods, but the last build was built with these options. pp --gui -o app.exe -l Tk source.pl Any suggestions on what might be causing the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Prime
