I finally went and upgraded my code to brand new everything -- latest
wxWidgets, latest Python, latest wxArt2D, and after working through
all the incompatibilities and getting recompiled properly, I'm left
with one thing.
In my code I used to create fonts doing something like
font = new a2dFontDC(8.0, wxSWISS, wxNORMAL, wxBOLD);
then when drawing with the aggdrawer it would convert that to a
FreeType font for me under the hood. That feature seems to have been
commented out with an #ifdef that's off by default.
First of all why did you disable that by default? it was pretty handy.
Second, without that it's hard to create a "default" font in a
platform independent way. a2dFontFreetype doesn't have a constructor
that takes those same parameters. I ended up doing what the samples
seem to do and just hard-coding an "Arial.ttf", but that's a terrible
solution. I think the FontDC->FontFreetype conversion under the hood
should either be reinstated as the default, or FontFreetype needs to
be given some better constructors.
