Eric's pixmaps are useful, as they can still be used in currrent XBoard.
Especially
because of the existence of projects like this I think we should not give
up support for pixmaps in future versions.
But that's about all we should do. I don't think it would be a good idea
(or even
doable) to include all Chess graphics developed in formats that XBoard or
WinBoard can use with any distribution. I even have doubts about the
feasibility
to distribute a list of all compatible Chess pixmaps or true-type fonts with
XBoard / WinBoard. Just like we do not distribute lists of WB-compatible
engines.

Eric De Mund sent me the attached emails a while back. I didn't do
anything about them at the time, and have just noticed them still
sitting in my mailbox. I still haven't looked at the pixmaps and don't
know if they would be interesting given the changes being made to xboard
and WinBoard, but thought I should at least forward the mails to the
developer list now that there are folks actively working on
xboard/WinBoard.
