Backported from 8.5. My eyes shine. =====x====== October 18, 2004 -- A Xft enabled tclkit When trying Knoppix for preparing a demo to some friends, I found that almost all fonts are available only thru Xft API calls. Which means that most of my fine tcl/tk GUIs display only old crappy fonts. Time to correct the situation! I have built a new tclkit, by backporting the new font stuff from tcl8.5 (which do not build into a tclkit for now), and my programs show fine now, with anti-aliased fonts (the same as Firefox, for instance) and everyting else! Here is the gzipped binary for Linux. (please, click and "save as...", about 1MB): http://www.pragana.net/tclkit-Xft.gz BTW, Knoppix also have the classical problem "X server is insecure", that don't allow us to use tkinspect or a tkcon connected to other running applications. I have fixed this also. If you are interested in the patches (for Knoppix to allow tk's "send" command to work), and also if you need the sources of the modified tk for build yourself the new tclkit, please drop me a line. Please, notice this is not the official distributions of tclkit. In that case, please go to Equi4 (http://www.equi4.com/), Jean Claude Whippler's site. I'm just a happy hacker, too much Tcl addicted :-) Rildo =============================x============================== Have fun! -- Hatredman [EMAIL PROTECTED] We've always had him! http://www.ericblumrich.com/thanks.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
