I have no idea. GTK+ 2.8 might. But is there somebody working on making cairo run on Win9x? And if somebody did this, wouldn't it be enough to keep the Win9x support in GTK+ 2.10 (and earlier), and retire it from HEAD? > Or, even if cairo works on Win9x, more additional (and hard to > maintain) codes for Win95 are required? Well, I wouldn't call the code hard to maintain as such, just messy. But it's not just a question of having to keep two code paths (one using wide characters strigns and "W" APIs, the other using system codepage char strings and "A" APIs) here and there. Some APIs that would be useful to use aren't available at all on Win9x, like GetFontUnicodeRanges. (Although GetFontUnicodeRanges seems to be broken in the sense that it can't handle fonts with coverage outside the BMP, so we couldn't use it anyhow, sigh.) > BTW, the request of Uniscribe backend is for Unicode text layout > by Uniscribe instead of HarfBuzz? Anything else? Er, Harfbuzz doesn't do the same thing Uniscribe, does it? Uniscribe is what takes care of the complex script processing, for which on Unix Pango uses the code in the pango-arabic-fc, pango-hangul-fc, pango-hebrew-fc, pango-indic-fc etc modules. Or am I confused? --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
