I'm not sure what you're implying here, but I believe that Alex Malmberg has a patch for the problem. :) Additionally, users CAN download the previous version of freetype and use that if they have a newer installation of Linux. > So, I wonder how many non-CVS users use back-art? I have a couple of machines that I usually compile the release on, lets see.. Well, I know that the release compiles on my laptop which has SuSE 9.0 on it, and on my Sun box, which has Solaris 9 on it, and I do use back-art on both, so I guess there's at least one. :) > Is it premature to talk about switching defaults? No. It's precisely the right time to do so. Art is simply a more advanced backend and doesn't suffer from the same issues as xlib. GJC ===== Gregory John Casamento -- CEO/President Open Logic Corp.
