We can always add a drawTTFGlyph() method to render_handler and try it out... > >> After all, use of device fonts is very restricted in PP: > s> Yes, I noticed too.

We surely don't want to be bug-compatible and I personally don't want gnash to be limit-compatible. Why would we need free software if not for breaking limits ? :) It's a matter of freedom... we may offer a compatibility setting (in gnashrc for instance) to allow flash coders to verify if their movie would run with the PP, but after all yourself as first use FileIO .. > > s> I see.

Can you try to provide such an example in the existing DrawingApiTest.as and see how PP renders it (yes, I understood you said OS fonts do not use those calls, but it seems worth checking this out). --strk; _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
