Yup - the fltk-1.3 default is that XFT is on (although it can be turned off at configure time.) The 1.1.x default was XFT off (but you could tuen it on at configure time...) > As a > result fl_xfont will always be NULL (according to > http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.3/osissues.html#os > issues).

IIRC (and this is just memory, I haven't bothered to look at the code here) Rotated.c just draws the text to a bitmap then renders the bitmap rotated (is that correct?) I guess the same trick might work, but... With early versions of XFT (i.e. the 1.x versions) you could easily get the X (bitmap) font related to the xft (anti-aliased) font, but xft-2 no longer supports that directly. I put a nasty hack into the fltk XFT font code for getting a suitable bitmap font from XFT fonts for use in the GL rendering case, but that's pretty nasty. There is a better way (see below.) > Does anyone know where I can find a routine for drawing > rotated text when > Xft is enabled? OK, well, I was going to say I have code I wrote for drawing rotated text with XFT that you might be able to use. But I can't find it - it's not in the project I thought I wrote it for, and I can't find where I have put it... I'll have a look on my home machines, see what I can find. But don't wait for me, I may be some time...
