No, what you want is to be able to import EPS files. Much more
realistic and efficient.
Hmm...I'm not sure I'd agree with that assertion, but either way I'd
be happy to get that functionality.
Why do you say EPS would be more realistic and efficient? I'd assume
it wouldn't be, as you can get a straight bitmap out of something like
libpng with minimal effort, while you'd need to interpret the
PostScript and render it to a bitmap which involves a metric buttload
of work. The scaling benefits would be huge, but there's still all the
effort involved in PS interpretation and rendering.
What are your thoughts on this?
