It sounds very good! :-)
Please, which architecture are you using? ARM or PPC or X86?
Do you think it could also work with MMU-less processor, in example
through uClinux on a Xilinx Microblaze or Freescale Coldfire architecture?
Referring to fonts... I am looking to support far east fonts as well? Any
experience? I know that these fonts usually are hungry in space... and I
was not able to make them work under nanoX (I am still too much
unfamilar with nanoX ...).
Many thanks.
