Sure, with caveats. First I tried building it with -no-qt3support, got working libraries but the font used for menus and other things was a [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing. I did not find anything to change that default as qtconfig was not built. Then I discovered that I had to let the qt3support thing in if I wanted qtconfig. This way I can change the default font, but not much other things.

I can't claim support from them as I don't have a licence. I am using the opensource version. -- Enrico
