One problem I see with using xft directly is that we will not be able to port to win32 of directfb. From my reading of the www.gtk.org site it seems to me that gtk2 has support for xft. Is that true? Wouldn't that be a better route than direct use of xft? JMarc PS: actually I know next to nothing about gtk+, so my question may be stupid...
