"FonT deprecated. What to use instead'
« on: May 13, 2017, 04:40:48 pm »
I get the message Symbol "Font" is deprecated. I'd be curious to understand why, but mostly I'd just like to know how to refer to a font (so I can change font characteristics from my code) and not get this warning message.

Win (XP!)
Lazarus version 3.0.0 SVN revision 51630
i386-win32-win32/win74

No idea what "bitness" is.

Not important here. Do what wp says: use labelfont instead.

Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

The deprecated entry should really have mentioned that, which in turn would output in the compiler messages. For some years now FPC supports messages with the deprecated keyword.

See the "Free Pascal Language Reference" document, Section 1.5 "Hint directives".
