I've been confident that the existing code two days ago was in a good shape to merge back, but now I'm not as sure anymore.

Okay, now we have a first step to full device abstraction in our printing development branch. Great job, BTW, Manolo. This gives us the great chance to start with device abstraction in FLTK 1.3 ! :-) :-) However, this also means that we need thoroughful code review, testing, and eventually consensus to merge this *big* change back into the main branch. ******************************************************************* I ask all developers (and other willing testers) to check out the printing development branch [1], test it and give feedback. Thanks. ******************************************************************* To Matthias: It would be really good if you would not do much structural changes for UTF-8 now, since this might indeed complicate the merge. Currently I succeeded in merging the main branch changes into the printing branch, so that we would be able to do the merge- back easily.
