Doing wrapping properly for variable font width is just way too much hassle for most apps that just want to deal with text and not worry about how it gets displayed as long as it's readable.
Also I would like to be able to resize acme windows and have the wrapping adapt to the new size, this is specially important for long-lived apps like irc clients. Acme apps might be able to pick size changes and apply them to the whole window, but that is harder(or impossible) for apps run inside win(yes, I'm aware that then the issue is no different than with rio windows.) After some more thinking I still can't see how this can be done cleanly without doing it inside acme. uriel > >> > it is true that Wiki itself should >> > be doing the line wrapping, but unless >> > you want to write that code, i would >> > just leave the wrapping in wikifs. > > look at mc for an example. > > russ
