The xwinttf device driver now builds properly on Linux. (Previously, an essential "include(xwinttf)" was missing.)
I tried it for the first time today. There do appear to be threading problems (if any page that is plotted loses focus in the GUI, it does not restore) and control problems (there doesn't seem to be anyway to move from one page to the next in multi-page examples. Instead they are all dumped out with a separate X window per page.) The antialised results and TrueType font rendering look outstanding with this device (much nicer than -dev xwin) so this device seems quite promising as an eventual replacement for -dev xwin.
