Thanks for clarifying /BT for me. I have been able to get WinCVS working. So far I have implemented QUAD_TO segment in PSGraphics2D.java, text drawing and correct those color issues. I did not implement a StrokeSVGText for PS because new configuration mechanism has not implemented yet. Right now I working on traits and borders, but this may take a longer time 'cause I am kind of caught up by my own paid project.
One question, is it possible to apply some changes I made so far to maintainence branch or it's too late? George --- Jeremias Maerki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for the delay.
