The implementation I had was mostly done and I believe any known problems with it have been fixed. However, it is still pretty lightly tested and could use some decent review. I can resurrect it if needed. I don't know of any other implementations for cairo that fit this need appropriately. (cairo has had some stroke-to-different-representation work since I wrote this, but I don't think any of those representations is a general path) -Jeff _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
