If you don't actually need any of the fancy features Pango provides, bi-directional text, paragraphs and whatnot, you might just as well use Xft2 directly. It requires a bit more code, but with the Nokia 770 VKB implementation we measured roughly 50% reduction in the time it takes to redraw the whole layout (buttons with single-character labels) In widget expose handler it's relatively simple matter to call XftDrawCreate + XftDrawString* + XftDrawDestroy instead of pango functions. -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
