Re: Re: XFT fonts
Mats,
Maybe you (or someone) can answer a question for me.
What is the scope of Pango in regards to what it would change in XEmacs?
When I was working on icon-themes.el, there was a set of icons called pango.
So does adopting Pango affect more than just fonts?
Does it affect icons used, or borders, or menu text, or gutters, scrollbars,
or any other part of what you see on the XEmacs screen?
Pango seems to be often implemented in conjunction with a drawing library,
Cairo. Would Cairo need to be implemented too, to cover all the things
XEmacs
might use pango for? If so, what would Cairo replace that is in XEmacs
currently?
I don't have an opinion either way, I am just trying to understand
what changes are being contemplated.

its support of different backends it would serve XEmacs well I think
(or should I say hope because quick googling will not reveal all
details I'm afraid.)
Could the developers interested in upgrading GTK from v1 to v2 or v3
maybe be interested in using Pango!?
