Hello, yeah I would be rather interested by your past experience. I guess this is in xftacs.h/c and screen.h/c? But there are so many stuffs in here that I get lost. 6 monthes ago, I remember having understood parts of it and having written in a notebook, but I don't find this notebook and I am pretty tired... If I could avoid some work, it would be nice. ;-)
What can you tell me? I don't need all details, but at least the global structure. And also, how the final drawing works "globally"... For instance knowing which function exactly does the real drawing at the end, it will enable me to find back which other functions call it, hence finding back the calling flow up to the main loop. But what interests me also is the parameters of these drawing functions: does it depend on the encoding or on some generic and global encoding (so Unicode?)? Does it change depending on the used font? (I mean: how do you know what to draw on screen for a given character?) And more generally what can you tell me about the different kinds of fonts and how they are used in mrxvt especially. I read many stuffs about the fonts here and there on the web. And I was understanding while reading, then lost 5 minutes after when looking in the code... With all these stuffs, fontconfig, freetype, xft, etc. this is difficult to understand what does what. Thanks.
