Chameleon has a strong dependency on Core Animation and Core Text. GNUstep
doesn't support either, yet. Ivan's promising work should provide a good, uh,
foundation for the CA bits and pieces.
From what I can see, we DO have a Core Text implementation as part of Opal :-)
http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/opal/trunk/Headers/CoreText/
http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/opal/trunk/Source/OpalText/
How much of it is implemented, I have no idea, as I never before had to use
CoreText. :-)
I did take a look at OpalText about a month ago. Several significant bits are
still stubbed out, and the rest references NSFont. Still has some ways to go.
If nobody picks it up in about two months, I could see if I could try to do
something with it using FreeType 2.
I have enough Core Text war stories under my belt that I think I could do it
some justice. : ) Some parts of that API make me long for the days of ATSUI.
That sounds great! Even if it takes two more months for you to start :-)
I am sure Eric is willing to help you and I hope to have the time by
then to help cleaning up the gui and back bits that are shared with
OpalText.
