Lars, when I attempt to display a text with the following (latin9) string:
test avec des � et des � et des � et des � I get the PNG attached here (I added the bounding boxes; it looks like it's too big). Also, the cursor is behaving strangely, it seems that for each non-ASCII character, two characters are counted. This certainly hints me towards a problem with UTF-8 handling... (when building without --enable-freetype, the text is perfect. The EPS file also shows that the font is correctly downloaded, although it lacks the euro symbol -- which is a problem in that font, not in your code. The space for that symbol is properly accounted for. The EPS file is in http://www.chepelov.org/cyrille/dia ) Still not done the StringPrerenderer cleanup. -- Cyrille -- Grumpf.
