I have a Perl/Tk script in which I am creating a button widget of height 1. Now when I execute script through Citrix xterm client I get button displayed. Again when I execute script now through xterm client in my PC size of button widget differs. Can someone explain why is this happening, and what should I do so that size of button widget remains constant with different xterm clients?
