Why not directly use the Atk/at-spi bridge to get the text from the web browser? You could use Xvfb (or such) let webkit run there and use atk+ to get the information of the text and such? The other option would be to turn to create a pure cairo based port first (repeated question...) and then work on FontGtk.cpp Font::drawComplexText to draw the text the way you want. z. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
