Like Vincent Torri said, the text format isn't my top priority so i'll
see for a solution later - I encounter this problem because I have
started by removing all the glib dependancies.

Thanks for the note, I think that i will follow your advice about the
"dummy rectangles".
I'm just at the beginning of the work so I will keep you informed if I
encounter more problems or difficulties.
