Aaron,
What would be even better regarding fonts would be to not only include
the FreeType/2 engine, but to utilize the anti-aliased font support
that is built-in to FreeType ... Not that would be cool !!!
I had some conversations with Mike Necasek and Mike Kaply and they
both feel this is doable ... The problem is Mike N. is EXTREMELY busy
with his new position with SciTech, and as we know Mike Kaply is the
Project Leader for the WHOLE Warpzilla port ... so he's too busy as
well I imagine ...
As for me, I've done *some* programming ... mainly in database
developement projects ... and I'm playing with VisProRexx right now
doing up a nice frontend to the CDRecord/2 package (I'm not to
thrilled with what I've seen so far on the other frontends available)
I also have Sibyl ... which I know you are very familar with :-) I'm
also expecting a copy of VisualAge for C++ shortly from Mensys ...
which has the 3.x version as well as the version 4 ... Seems most
projects these days are being done with the 3.x and not the 4.x
version of VAC++ ...
But I've never done ANY programming with C++ ... so until I get up to
speed with C++, I strongly doubt that I can be any help in doing up a
Freetype/2 font engine for Warpzilla ...
