XFT is pretty much an X-windows only thing, we don't support it on OSX. > Also what the are cons and pros of using Quartz instead of Quickdraw? To some extent that depends on which fltk you are using. Quickdraw is the older Apple rendering API, but is now deprecated. Quartz is newer and in the earlier fltk variants our Quartz support was still unstable. In fltk-1.1 Quickdraw is the default option, but you can select Quartz at configure time. In fltk-1.3 Quartz is the default (and I don't think it will actually work right at all if you try to select Quickdraw...) Not sure what fltk-2 does, but I hope it is Quartz. Now, the advantage of Quartz (apart from not being deprecated) is that it provides full-screen anti-aliasing automatically, not just for fonts but for lines etc. also. If you are using a recent OSX, I would recommend that you always use Quartz. -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
