Indeed - I wonder if it is fair to just assume that computers are getting faster and depend on *that* to stay Fast! ;-) > Text rendering can fill books, and those books can fill a library. That statement would seem to be true. On several levels... :-) > I like your short-term additions and would welcome them to the > current 1.3! OK. Based on Bill's points, rather than messing with the existing API at all, I'll just try and add an "fl_text_extent" mechanism (name TBD) just as a proof of concept for now. Then if that seems to be working for us, we can build on that, perhaps.
