Thank you for your comments. :) Besides, I have a question. I know that bytecode interpreter was patented previously and It was disabled at compile time in Freetype. If so, bytecode interpreter was not included in released Freetype binary??? But elm_gesutre is built in when elementary binary is released and it can be disabled at runtime time. Does this have no problems?? Anyway, I hate damn patent :-(. -- BRs, Kim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
