Hi Alan, Sorry for not properly quoting the relevant parts of your e-mails, but when I registered to the plplot-devel list I chose to receive e-mails as a digest, and I haven't received it yet. I have read your messages on the sourceforge archive for the mailing list. I've changed that in my registration settings, so the next messages will be more readable.
Now for your suggestions, remarks and questions: "The big issue I noticed at this time is I cannot get -dev qtwidgets to work. Here are the symptoms (when run in the installed examples directory)." Actually, qtwidget was not supposed to work directly from the console (a bit like the mem device, that requires a specific initialisation). I was about to explain you why it was impossible, but now I'm wondering if this wouldn't be possible in fact (I'm still a bit focused on how it works on QSAS!). I'll make a couple of tests and keep you in touch :) "I have implemented this change as of revision 9678 and -dev epsqt and -dev pdfqt work as expected regardless of file suffix. As most on this list know, my C++ skills are not as good as my C skills. :-)" I'll have a look at that! I can do the same for rasterqt if you wish. "Another issue I have noticed for the Qt devices is they all seem to use the Hershey fonts. Do you have any present plans to use the powerful Qt font and text layout facilities (e.g. for Complex text layout languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, etc.) to render text?" No, we don't, simply because the required effort was not worth it in QSAS. They don't look that bad on the Qt driver as it does antialiasing. Maybe in a future development, but we have many other priorities on QSAS! Just remind me if I have forgotten to reply to one of your questions!
