Well, cairo itself is the port in question, so the question strictly
speaking doesn't make sense. But it is possible that there is some
non-font usage that might work now. But I don't know enough about
cairo to commemt further.
Is it currently possible to run some of the test files and
generate e.g. a PDF document with it on RISC OS? If this is possible, can
you give me a hint on how to do this?
I don't know if this helps. The other way round works. I successfully
compiled and ran the sample program from here,
http://cairographics.org/renderpdf/
All I had to do was copy '/etc/fonts' and '/usr/share/fonts' from ubuntu.
Thanks, but I guess you are over-estimating my knowledge by a factor of 100
or so ;-)
My confusion already starts with the content of the cairo tar archive. It
contains a directory "cairo-1/5/12" and a file "cairo-1/5/12/tar/gz". If I
unpack the file the content seems to be almost identical but I do not
understand where the difference is.
I'm not sure what we're talking about here. Perhaps you should
familiarize yourself with the GCCSDK autobuilder before proceeding. That
is the crucial piece here.
I would like to use cairo to output vector graphics that make use of
transparency and colour fades etc. which can not be handled by the draw
format. So instead I would like to produce a cairo script, process it with
cairo and save it as pdf/svg/png or any other supported format. Will this
probably work with this port of cairo or am I to optimistic?
My expectation is that would almost certainly involve the use of fonts,
so really the problem needs to be solved properly.
