That and the anti-aliasing obviously was it. I thought I'm already using the GCC compiled version, but I did play around with it a lot while developing the mode32 driver, so I might have changed it again or whatever. Anyway, it's now really a lot faster than before, very good. Unfortunately the pre-compiled GCC version on your site is an older one which still inhibits a bug in the clipping algorithm (can be seen in Paragraph). Can anybody compile a new version? > Yes the "Guardian" (Times, Guardian... once you see one newspaper > you've seen 'em all ;-) font by me, freely available via the usual > sources :-) (Shameless plug I know... but in any case its frei as > you Germans say ;-) Yes, already discovered that one :) In 12pt size it looks really good. >>What I like most about ProWesS is the "type" concept.

It is now reasonably fast here and with some modified types it could look really cool. Did anybody else experience a problem that sometimes PW applications just won't start? The job is created but then nothing more happens. It happens often enough here to be considered "reproducible" I also succeeded in crashing QPC completely a few times (e.g. once by hitting "Quit" in the calculator). Can't really reproduce this one, though. Marcel
