Now I have some more infos but no solution for my problem.
The problem is coherence with the graphic card.
In one alpha station we have the graphic card Digital ZLXp2-E 2MB
(driver tga0) and the font is ok and the width of entries are ok.
We change the grafic card in this station to Else Gloria Synergie 8MB (
driver comet0) and the fonts are to big and the width of the entries are
to large. That means, use other (smaller) font is not the solution,
because  
	length = gtk_entry_set_width_chars(GTK_ENTRY(tmpW),4);
gives not the right value.
	
Has anyone expierience with digital (TRU64) and can help.
Thanks Bernd
