Yes, which is very important IMHO. Also Pango HEAD handles OpenType Latin (and other basic scripts) fonts. It also does cairo-fc hexbox drawing. That change deserves going into stable branch, but it was a non-obvious change and needed some porting work, so I didn't do myself. I think a better way to rephrase Federico's question is: should the floating stuff be rolled back? I think that was discussed and closed already. So we have a glib release that we want to not use?! The question is really about glib now. Pango is using some new stuff in latest glib, includeing g_slice, like many other modules do already.. --behdad http://behdad.org/ "Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill" -- Dan Bern, "New American Language" _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
