Yes. Except that you don't have any of Xft, XRender and all these gizmos the day the X server is not XFree86 (not mentioning the special case where there is no X server at all -- I'll blindly assume it just emulates Xft/XRender as well) > >From the tone of your responses I get the feeling dia is in a 1.0 > marathon right now, so forward looking chatter sounds inane.

We just depend on Ghostscript fonts being correctly installed into the X server as well. -- Grumpf. _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
