Hi Greg and others,
I started out with a program using Freetype 1.3.1,
microwindows 0.90, nxlib 0.45, fltk 1.1.6, and a
little test program, cross-compiled to run under Linux
on power PC using MontaVista 3.1 cross-compile tools.
The problem was, that the truetype fonts were being
displayed distorted, especially italic (and
bold-italic) versions. This applies to several
truetype fonts from different sources.
The next thing I did was to recompile fltk 1.1.6 and
my program for a normal X server on Linux/Intel
(dropping out nxlib and below), and they displayed
well.
FIRST STAB
==========
I upgraded Freetype to 2.1.3 (and also tried 2.1.7).
Result: compiled OK, but when it came to displaying a
truetype font, it crashed with a "Not yet implemented"
message for the function linear16_drawarea(PSD psd,
driver_gc_t * gc, int op).
SECOND STAB
===========
I upgraded Microwindows to 0.91, but when I linked my
test program, the cross-compiler said
../nxlib/libX11.so: undefined reference to
`GrMoveResizeWindow'
Now, I see that between 0.90 and 0.91 the
GrMoveResizeWindow function was taken out, and the
not_implemented() function calls were taken out.
Taking out the not_implemented() calls was good, but
taking out the GrMoveResizeWindow wasn't so good.
I think I've already got the latest version of nxlib
0.45, but that relies on GrMoveResizeWindow.
I don't know where to go from here.
