Re: delay for release candidate
Rob, Thanks. That's exactly the sort of thing I was concerned about. I've had a quick look around and seen nothing, so it might be better for now to put it on hold, and mention the work-around and its possible consequences in the release notes. Anyone else have any other ideas? Peter Rob Smith wrote: What's the latest? I have just patched .../fo/flow/BasicLink.java to change the default, but I have not committed it yet.

But I've just seen a patch from Oleg which would be nice to have in the RC and Jeremias is working on the PS renderer. So I think one or two days later doesn't matter that much .. change the default, but I have not committed it yet. I would like to get an interested user to try it before general release, if possible. I'd say commit it. I can make a quick test and besides it's the release candidate and not the final release ;-) Peter Christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, that's all that's required in the manifest. This provides maximum flexibility. If the referenced JARs were entirely our own it would be a different matter - we could put them where we like. But in many deployments we ought not to constrain the locations of common JARs like this. Arved - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At 07:50 PM 6/3/02, you wrote: Any other patches missing ? Yes, alas, the change I introduced recently which improved the appearance (ie spacing within words) in the awt renderr (command line -awt) introduces a problem with word-to-word spacing in printing -- both when printing from the AWTRenderer's popup dialog and when printing directly via the commandline -print option. NB: I see the problem on NT4.0/sp6 -- I do not know what the results are on different platforms. I have tried many ways to work around the problem all without success. What is worse is that problems seems to manifest itself differently in jdk 1.3.x and jdk 1.4.0. There is sufficient activity on the bug parade in the area of rendering, character spacing and sizing to suggest the problem originates in java - there have been several problems reported about inconsistencies between font metrics and the actual drawing of text by the rasterizer - when the graphics context is that of a printer. If anyone has insight into this area, I'd be glad to take this off-list and try to wrangle out a solution -- but for a week or two, every attempt I've made comes up dry.

Re: delay for release candidate
I've got Oleg Tkachenko's image renderer on my tasklist. The problem is time, as usual. I'm going to try to do this this week. I'll update you, if I manage to do any items on your list.
