Re: XFT fonts

Mats Lidell writes: Not that I know of. The cheapest stealable code base is GTK+, I guess. We can't just port Emacs display and event loop code, if that's what you mean. Getting a usable display from Xft probably isn't that hard, just requires a bit of tedious cutting and trying, and testing with various fonts (yes, it matters which fonts you use). Fixing the menus and Customize is going to require more effort, I think. I'm not sure that GTK+ doesn't suffer from the same issues, since AFAIK it is now based on fontconfig. However, GTK+ will have the advantage that you can call its font selector widget fairly easily, and most people will undoubtedly prefer that to Customize or our Options menu. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
